North korea extends school breaks over coronavirus fears
According to recent reports, North Korea has extended its school breaks due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus. This decision was made to reduce the risk of transmission among students and teachers.
The country's education ministry announced that the extended break would last for an additional two weeks, starting from March 28th. This means that students will not return to school until April 11th.
North Korea has taken several measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including restricting international travel, closing borders, and imposing strict quarantine measures on those who have come into contact with suspected cases.
It's worth noting that North Korea has been relatively successful in containing the spread of the virus, with only a handful of reported cases and no deaths. However, the country's healthcare system is still considered to be underdeveloped, and the risk of transmission remains a concern.
The extended school break is seen as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and teachers, and to prevent the spread of the virus in schools.
