Coronavirus: North Korean patient killed for escaping quaratine

A North Korean man quarantined for suspected case of Coronavirus was shot dead for using a public toilet when he was supposed to be in quarantine.

The man, who was put in isolation after his trip to China, was arrested and shot immediately for allegedly risking the spread of the virus.

While the cases of Coronavirus was spreading to other countries outside of China, North Korea, a neighbouring country to China, blocked all foreign tourists from entering the country.

The North Korean Leader, Kim Jong-Un, had imposed military law to enforce the lockdown, and isolating anyone who had traveled from China or had contacts with the Chinese.

Kim has also ordered the military to kill anyone who leaves the quarantine without approval, and executing anyone who fails to comply with the government's policies.

Although, no cases of Coronavirus has been recorded in North Korea, but there are rumours that other people suspected to have the virus are either being executed or exiled just to prevent the spread of the virus.
