Regulations place firm new restrictions on foreign envoys' freedom of movement, public gatherings
North Korea on Tuesday distributed new quarantine regulations to diplomats residing in Pyongyang, following news over the weekend that the country had detected its first suspected case of the COVID-19 virus.
