Earlier this week, the UN said North Korea had rejected an offer of almost three million Covid-19 jabs(注射). A spokesperson said the country had asked that the shots be relocated(轉移) to harder hit nations in view of global vaccine shortages.
📌 本週早些時候，聯合國表示，朝鮮拒絕了近 300 萬次 Covid-19注射的捐贈。 一位發言人表示，鑑於全球疫苗短缺，該國已要求將疫苗轉移到受災更嚴重的國家。
