However, the plan was canceled after Kim issued his order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the order, Kim told officials to leave the displaced people in the shelters where they currently live and allow them to continue to enjoy the same cultural benefits and daily life as Pyongyang residents, enabling them to tour the city, watch television and read books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The directive included instructions to send only patients with severe communicative disorders or who are seriously ill to specialized hospitals for treatment in isolation.
