North Korea insists on reducing the number of new fever cases to 10,000

North Korea claimed that the number of new fever patients suspected of being confirmed by COVID-19 had fallen to 10,000.

According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) today (19th), citing the National Emergency Response Command, there were 9,310 new fever patients across the country for 24 hours from 6 pm on the 17th (17th).

As of the 15th of last month, it is the first time that the number of new fever patients, which approached 400,000, has fallen to 10,000.

However, there are also analyzes that it is difficult to trust the statistics of North Korea as it is.

In the midst of this, as acute enteric infectious diseases such as typhoid, dysentery, and cholera are spreading in South Hwanghae Province, the authorities dispatched medical staff to the area, the Korean Central News Agency reported.
