Adding GPT3 translation:

In North Korea, where strict regional lockdowns have been imposed following confirmation of infections with the new coronavirus, the lockdowns in Pyongyang and other areas are gradually being eased, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation in North Korea. The aim is to avoid a shortage of labor for agricultural work, which is a "matter of life and death," in the face of food shortages and to finish necessary civil engineering work before the rainy season and typhoon season.

Once again, I find that Deepl has the most precise translation. GPT3 is good with very natural text but it does not follow the original text as closely.

Here "という" at the end of the last sentence was properly translated as it is said by Deepl, but was omitted by GPT3.

Both GPT3 and Deepl translation are vastly superior to all the others though...
