N Korea delays removal of S Korean facilities over outbreak

North Korea has postponed plans to tear down South Korean-made hotels and other facilities at the North’s Diamond Mountain resort to prevent the spread of a new virus that has reached the South after sickening thousands in China. North Korea had earlier demanded South Korea send workers to Diamond Mountain at an agreed upon date to clear out the facilities. The South also on Thursday withdrew dozens of officials and workers from an inter-Korean liaison office in the North Korean border town of Kaesong, which the Koreas agreed to temporarily shut down until the outbreak is controlled.
