Suspected cases
North Korea
 |
On 23 January, suspected cases in Sinuiju were quarantined.[needs update]
On 30 January, North Korea's news agency KCNA declared a "state emergency" and reported the establishment of anti-epidemic headquarters around the country.
On 7 February, South Korean media outlet Daily NK claimed that five North Koreans in Sinuiju of North Pyongan Province died. Within the same day, The Korea Times reported that a North Korean female living in the capital Pyongyang was infected. Despite no confirmation by North Korean authorities on the claims, the country has implemented stricter measures to combat the spread of the virus.
On 29 February, Kim Jong-un called for stronger measures to be taken to prevent COVID-19 from spreading to North Korea.
On 18 March 2020, Kim Jong-un ordered the construction of new hospitals in North Korea while also continuing to deny any cases of COVID-19 in North Korea. North Korean state media also reported that groundbreaking on a new hospital was underway the day prior on Tuesday 17 March. Kim Jong-un reportedly told a newspaper linked to the ruling Workers' Party of Korea that the construction of new hospitals was being done for general improvement of the nation's healthcare system without mentioning COVID-19.
On 20 March 2020, North Korean media said that more than 2,590 people had been released from quarantine in North Pyongan and South Pyongan provinces. All but three quarantined foreigners had been released.
On 26 March, the Financial Times and Reuters report that North Korea is secretly asking for foreign aid to combat Covid-19 while denying they have any cases in the country. Daily NK, a news site focusing on North Korea, reported that 180 North Korean soldiers died of the virus in January and February and another 3,700 were sent to quarantine. NK also reported that five people had died of the coronavirus in Sinuiju, while South Korean newspaper ‘‘Chosun Ilbo’’ reports two suspected cases in that city.[186]
Prevention in other countries and territories
British Indian Ocean Territory
As of 29 March there have been no cases on the British territory. Access to the islands, already heavily restricted due to the presence of a military base on Diego Garcia, have been further curtailed, with licenses for visiting vessels suspended.[187] All people arriving into the territory are subject to a 14-day quarantine; social distancing measures have also been enacted.[188]
Tajikistan
Tajikistan initially blocked the entry of nationals of 35 countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.[189] On March 3, 2020, Tajikistan reduced the ban to five countries: China, Iran, Afghanistan, South Korea, and Italy.[190] On March 4, some mosques in the capital city Dushanbe asked worshipers not to attend Friday prayers.[191] A rush to stockpile food led to price hikes and shortages of flour and other staples. On March 5, the Health and Social Welfare Ministry said that there is enough food in Tajikistan to feed the country's population for two years.[192] President Emomali Rahmon assured Tajiks there was no need to panic-buy food, but stockpiling continued. Tajikistan asked people to avoid public gatherings and mosque attendance.[193] As of March 10, 1,583 Tajik citizens who arrived from China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran and Afghanistan after February 1 had been put in quarantine, and 1,147 had already been discharged. No cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the country.[194] As of March 14, 1,603 Tajik citizens who arrived from China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran and Afghanistan after February 1 had been put in quarantine, and 1,280 had already been discharged. No cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the country.[195]
As of March 18, there were no confirmed cases of coronavirus infections in Tajikistan and plans to celebrate Nowruz had not been canceled.[196] In late March, border closings in Russia and Central Asia were preventing Tajik seasonal migrant workers from going to their place of work.[197] As of March 18, 1,890 Tajik citizens who arrived from foreign countries after February 1 had been put in quarantine, and 1,426 had already been discharged. The Ministry of Health called on the country's people, "not to believe any false rumors concerning coronavirus cases confirmation in Tajikistan."[198] As of March 23, 5,038 persons who arrived from foreign countries after February 1 had been put in quarantine, and 1,981 had already been discharged; 3,057 persons (including 107 persons with foreign nationality) were in quarantine. No cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the country.[199] The Istiklol health complex in northern Tajikistan is being prepared for the quarantine of Tajikistan citizens arriving from abroad.[200] A 24-hour hotline number (511) has been activated by the Anti-crisis Information Center under the Ministry of Health and Social Protection to answer questions from the Tajikistan general public related to coronavirus issues.[201] On March 26 and 27, meetings concerning preparations for preventing a possible coronavirus outbreak were held. As of March 27, 5,919 Tajik citizens who arrived from abroad after February 1 had been put in quarantine, and 2,050 had already been discharged. No cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the country.[202][203] As of March 30, 6,159 Tajik citizens who arrived from abroad after February 1 had been put in quarantine, and 2,146 had already been discharged leaving 4,013 in quarantine. No cases of coronavirus were confirmed in the country.[204]
Turkmenistan
On 29 February, Turkmenistan began refusing the entry of citizens from countries affected by the virus. On 5 March three foreign travellers, two of them diplomats of an Arab country, were denied entry when they flew from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Their flight was diverted to Türkmenabat and after arriving at Ashgabat, they were all put on a flight to Istanbul.[205]
From March 2020 in order to prevent the importation and spread of coronavirus infection, all aircraft arriving in Turkmenistan from abroad are being redirected to the Turkmenabat International Airport.[206] Passengers arriving from outside of Turkmenistan are being examined for signs of the virus. A delivery mechanism has been established if necessary patients in an infectious diseases hospital. The airport medical center is equipped with personal protective equipment. After passing a medical examination, the plane, together with passengers on board, leaves for Ashgabat. Departures from Turkmenistan are carried out from Ashgabat International Airport.
Persons authorized solely for diplomatic, official, humanitarian purposes are allowed to enter the territory of Turkmenistan.[207] Most foreign airlines canceled their flights to Turkmenistan due to significant passengers unloading. Those who wish to visit Turkmenistan must have a certificate of absence of coronavirus with them.[208]
Around the large settlements of Turkmenistan, including the capital city Ashgabat, additional control points have been created. Before entering large cities and towns, the body temperature of drivers or passengers of vehicles is measured using infrared thermometers. This precaution also applies to passengers on all domestic flights.[208]
The Football Federation of Turkmenistan suspended for an indefinite period all tournaments under its auspices, including the 2020 Ýokary Liga.[209]
Turkmenistan has taken out its citizens from countries infected with coronavirus like China, Russia, Turkey and Belarus.[210][211][212]
Reporters Without Borders reported that the government of Turkmenistan had banned the word "coronavirus" and that people could be arrested for wearing masks or discussing the pandemic.[213] But this is misinformation, the word is actively use in local media[214]. Coronavirus hotline telephone is working.[215]
There is concern about economic problems in Turkmenistan caused by the pandemic, given the importance of trade with China to the country's economy.[213] In Turkmenistan, a import substitution industrialization program has been operating for several years, domestic entrepreneurs and companies in the country produce a sufficient number of products and medicines in a wide range[216].
Yemen
Although there is no confirmed case in Yemen, the country is seen to be extremely vulnerable to the outbreak, given the dire humanitarian situation due to the civil war, exacerbated by the famine, cholera outbreaks, and military blockade by Saudi Arabia and allies.[217][218] As a response to the growing threat, the Houthis declared suspending every flight from Yemen to other countries on 15 March.[219] Yemeni officials also stepped up to battle against the threat from the coronavirus.[220]
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) said on 26 March that it would partially suspend its operations in Houthi rebel-held areas because of restrictions imposed by the rebels. As a result, Oxfam America declared it would be forced to end services critical to coronavirus prevention, including hygiene promotion and primary health care.[96]
