As the coronavirus spreads, North Korea has cut trade with China—its main ally—blocked foreign tourists and curbed diplomatic travel

SEOUL—The challenge to contain the coronavirus looks particularly daunting in North Korea, one of the world’s poorest and most isolated countries.

North Korea was among the first countries last month to block the entry of foreign tourists, which come mostly from neighboring China, the source of the outbreak. It has since cut off trade with China, its main economic benefactor and ally and limited diplomatic travel, according to North Korean state media and diplomats. The country hasn’t reported any cases of the deadly coronavirus.

Well, NK just killed a quarantined patient, shot him dead after he left quarantine to visit a bath house Plus, the reason there even is a quantine is NK visits to China prior to world's knowledge of virus. YES NK HAS VIRUS We can only pray that it wipes out ALL of NK.

Intesting. Why is China condemning the US adn the western world for exaggerating the WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak? But not North Korea? Everything including disease control is purely policial for China.

You are successfully blocking the spread of Coronavirus in your country, but most of your citizens will die of starvation anyway positivepessimisms DPRKedition

Wow, not even North Korea is listening to the CCP controlled WHO!

Oh no, whatever will China do? No doubt China told them to blockade the border. Spreading a plague in North Korea does nothing for China.

Bill Gates predicted billions of people are going to die!

This virus is worse than the media is reporting.When NK cuts ties with China...it’s bad, real bad

Ally with party, not with Chinese people.

So really not much impact since that was their stance before.

A wise solution to protect! No one doubt the contagious disease stops at China’s border. And that means it won’t hurt their relationship!!!

Protecting their people is not blocking or acting badly! God Bless their government and their people! We thank them for not allowing tourist into danger! Get it straight WSJ! dbongino BreitbartNews BBCWorld nypost

They should! It's been reported, they barely have food. If the case I doubt they have means, staff and facilities to fight this virus. Let's people know, does it make sense to put all your money into defense? What will defend if die of hunger anyway? Must trust God!

You know you down bad when N. Korea cut you off

Hardcore for NK to pull. Must be worse than we are led to believe.
