Even individuals who must travel for special reasons are now forced to submit travel papers as well as confirmation they have been tested for COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said North Korean authorities are \u201cgradually broadening quarantine efforts against the virus, erecting quarantine stations even in ordinary places like markets and workplaces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accordingly, North Koreans are becoming less and less confident that, despite official claims to the contrary, the country has no cases of COVID-19.
