North Korea disinfects shops, screens customers in coronavirus plan
In a video provided by North Korea's official news agency KCNA, which Reuters cannot independently verify, North Korean workers are seen spraying disinfectant on surfaces inside shopping centres, and customers are having their temperature checked when they enter the building.
The World Health Organization has said it had no indications of the virus having spread to North Korea, after South Korean media suggested a cover-up of cases and deaths by authorities in Pyongyang.
Among its precautions, North Korea has set up month-long quarantines and sent aid workers to its border with China.
