North Korea has decided to postpone plans to demolish South Korean-owned facilities at the Mount Kumgang resort, South Korea's Ministry of Unification (MOU) said Friday, in a move reportedly aimed at preventing the further spread of the novel coronavirus.
Speaking to press at a regular briefing, ministry spokesperson Yoh Sang-key said the North had informed the South of its decision through a newly-opened telephone line between the two Koreas' capitals late Thursday night.
