North Korean leader Kim Jong Un without a mask was one of the coffin bearers at a senior harvest state funeral, North Korea's official news agency reported Monday.
Only recently has the state confirmed that the outbreak of the virus occurred in its territory.
Kim arrived yesterday for the funeral of Yun Chul Hay, a senior commander in the Korean People's Army and reportedly, Kim's mentor who prepared him for the leadership role before his father, Kim Jong Il, died in 2011.
The official news agency KCNA published photos of Kim, without a mask, carrying the coffin alongside other officers wearing masks.

Kim accused state officials of laziness that exacerbated the outbreak of variant Omicron in the country.
Over the weekend, KCNA reported that the plague is now "under control," and that the death toll "drops sharply daily."
North Korea, whose health system is one of the worst in the world, has not vaccinated its 25 million citizens and rejected the vaccines offered to it by the World Health Organization.
She also did not perform tests or provide medication.

North Korea announced its first corona case on May 12, despite a two-year closure imposed on the country since the onset of the global epidemic.
Today, the state reported 167,650 "fever" cases, a significant decrease from a record 390,000 cases reported a week ago.
She also reported another death, claiming that the death rate is 0.002%.
The US president said during his visit to Seoul over the weekend that Washington had offered corona vaccines to Pyongyang but "received no response".
