North Korea was among the first countries to implement strict travel restrictions in response to reports late last year of a new pathogen spreading through neighboring China. Rival South Korea was hit hard early on and Russia, which also shares a border with North Korea, was also fighting to contain a COVID-19 outbreak.
But the country's ruler, usually the center of state media messaging, was noticeably absent during the recent celebration of one of the country's top holidays. North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un did not appear Wednesday as citizens and senior officials gathered to remember his grandfather, the country's founder and first leader, Kim Il Sung.
Kim announced afterward that he no longer felt obliged to honor a self-imposed moratorium on nuclear or longer-range weapons tests but has yet to unveil the"new strategic weapon" he alluded to at the time and smaller-range tests have been met largely with indifference by the Trump administration.
