Source text - English North Korea on alert over 'first suspected coronavirus case'
North Korea has reported what it describes as the country's first suspected case of coronavirus.
State news agency KCNA said a person who defected to South Korea three years ago last week returned across the demarcation line had Covid-19 symptoms.
Leader Kim Jong-un held an emergency meeting with top officials, imposing a lockdown in the border city of Kaesong.
North Korea, a secretive state, had earlier said it had no Covid-19 cases - but analysts say this was unlikely.
"An emergency event happened in Kaesong city where a runaway who went to the south three years ago, a person who is suspected to have been infected with the vicious virus returned on 19 July after illegally crossing the demarcation line," KCNA said.
At Saturday's politburo meeting, Mr Kim ordered a "maximum emergency system" to contain the virus.
KCNA added that Mr Kim also launched an investigation into how the person had managed to cross the heavily fortified border, warning those responsible that "a severe punishment" would be administered.
At the same time, South Korea has not reported of any illegal crossings of the demilitarized border in recent days.
North Korea closed its borders and put thousands of people in isolation six months ago, as the virus swept across the globe.
Earlier this month, Mr Kim hailed his country's "shining success" in dealing with Covid-19.
Translation - Portuguese Coreia do Norte entra em alerta devido ao ‘primeiro caso suspeito de coronavírus’
A Coreia do Norte divulgou o que descreve como o primeiro caso suspeito de coronavírus no país.
A agência estatal de notícias KCNA informou que uma pessoa que desertou para a Coreia do Sul três anos atrás, mas retornou na semana passada pela linha de demarcação, estava com sintomas de Covid-19.
O líder Kim Jong-un teve uma reunião de emergência com altos oficiais e impôs um isolamento na cidade fronteiriça de Kaesong.
A Coreia do Norte, um país fechado, havia declarado anteriormente que não tinha casos de Covid-19, mas analistas dizem que isso era improvável.
“Houve uma situação emergência na cidade de Kaesong, em que um fugitivo, que foi para a Coreia do Sul três anos atrás, uma pessoa suspeita de ter sido infectada com o terrível vírus, voltou no dia 19 de julho, depois de cruzar ilegalmente a linha de demarcação”, informou a KCNA.
Na reunião de domingo do Politburo, Kim ordenou um “sistema de emergência máxima” para conter o vírus.
A KNCA acrescentou que Kim também abriu uma investigação para saber como a pessoa conseguiu cruzar uma fronteira altamente fortificada, alertando os responsáveis que “uma punição severa” seria aplicada.
A Coreia do Sul, por sua vez, não relatou nenhuma travessia ilegal na fronteira desmilitarizada nos últimos dias.
A Coreia do Norte fechou suas fronteiras e colocou milhares de pessoas em isolamento seis meses atrás, quando o vírus se espalhava por todo o mundo.
No início do mês, Kim exaltou o “extraordinário sucesso” de seu país em lidar com a Covid-19.
