North Korean authorities have issued shoot-to-kill orders to prevent the coronavirus entering the country from China. The impoverished North has not confirmed a single case of the disease that has swept the world since first emerging in China. The country’s crumbling health system would struggle to cope with a major virus outbreak. Pyongyang closed its border with China in January to try to prevent contamination. It had also raised its state of emergency to the maximum level in July. The border shutdown had increased demand for smuggled goods, prompting authorities to intervene.
