North Korea declares ‘victory’ over Covid
朝鲜宣布抗疫取得胜利
North Korea has declared “victory” over Covid-19, three months after Kim Jong Un’s regime first admitted to an outbreak of the virus in the country.“The long-suffered quarantine war is finally over and today we are able solemnly to declare victory,” Kim told a gathering of thousands of scientists and health officials on Wednesday, in a speech reported by North Korean state media on Thursday.
在金正恩(Kim Jong Un)政权首次承认朝鲜爆发新冠疫情3个月后，该国宣布抗疫取得胜利。
Kim described South Korea’s official death toll of just 74 people as a “miracle” and praised the country’s “all-for-one and one-for-all collectivist spirit”. He thanked health officials for obeying the regime’s orders and “proving” that its policies had been correct.
周三，在由数千名科学家和卫生官员参加的朝鲜全国紧急防疫总结会议上，金正恩庄严宣布最大紧急防疫战取得胜利。朝鲜官方媒体周四报道了他在会议上的讲话。
Go Myong-hyun, a senior fellow at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul, said the “North Koreans don’t have the capacity to conduct mass testing for Covid, so their official figures are not credible at all”.
金正恩称朝鲜官方公布的仅74例死亡是一个“奇迹”，并赞扬了该国人民特有的“坚韧性和一心团结”。他感谢朝鲜防疫保健部门全体工作人员和军医部门战斗员的忘我奋斗“证实”了国家防疫政策的正确性。
