North Korea has recorded 18 820 more cases of fever and no new deaths amid its first official Covid-19 outbreak, state media has announced.
Authorities insist the outbreak is under control.North Korea recorded 18 820 more cases of fever and no new deaths amid its first official Covid-19 outbreak, state media said on Monday, as authorities continue to insist infections in the impoverished country are being brought under control.
Before acknowledging the outbreak in mid-May, Pyongyang had claimed to be free of Covid-19, a record doubted by many observers due to the coronavirus' acute transmissibility and the country's vast land border with China. The World Health Organisation has expressed scepticism about North Korea's claim that the outbreak is waning, warning that cases are underreported and the situation could be deteriorating.
It also reported last week an outbreak of an unidentified gastrointestinal disease, suspected to be cholera or typhoid, in the country's southwest.
