SEOUL, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has reopened its borders to its citizens staying abroad, a major step to ease its anti-epidemic border control measures, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Sunday.

The State Emergency Epidemic Prevention Headquarters issued an announcement on Saturday, saying DPRK citizens abroad “have been allowed to return home,” considering the eased worldwide pandemic situation.

Those returned will be put under proper medical observation at quarantine wards for a week.
