“Chairman Kim convened an emergency council on the 15th to criticize the slow supply of medicines,” the WP said.
“Experts outside North Korea have long doubted the claim that there are no cases of COVID-19 in North Korea,” he said, referring to the fact that North Korea held a military parade just before officially acknowledging the fact that it had occurred.

“Chairman Kim criticized the slow delivery of medicines and ordered military mobilization,” ABC News reported.
