North Korea S Kim Jong Un Contracts Covid 19 State Media

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been infected with COVID-19. While rumors have circulated for weeks about the dictator’s health, state-run Rodong Shinmun newspaper broke the news on Tuesday saying Kim was “suffering from a high fever in the midst of fighting the pandemic,” according to translations by South China Morning Post. The newspaper cited several instances where Kim was exposed to the disease while visiting workers who were already infected with COVID-19. “When the great leader visited the emergency epidemic prevention headquarters on the first night since the maximum emergency anti-pandemic measures went into effect, some of the officials there were already infected with the ‘malignant epidemic,’” Rodong Shinmun said.
