Russia sends coronavirus test kits to N. Korea





SEOUL, Feb. 27 (Yonhap) -- Russia has provided North Korea with coronavirus diagnosis kits at the request of Pyongyang, according to the Russian foreign ministry on Wednesday.

"Due to the persisting risk of the new COVID-19 infection, Russia has donated 1,500 coronavirus diagnostic test kits to Pyongyang at the request of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea," the Russian foreign ministry said in a press release available on its website, referring to North Korea by its official name.

"We hope that this step will help North Korea prevent the infection from penetrating the country," it said.

The press release did not give further details, however, such as when the kits were delivered.
