WHO: North Korea free of Covid-19

SANAA, Aug. 18 (YPA) – The World Health Organization (WHO) report revealed that no cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) have been reported in North Korea to date.

The report showed that North Korea conducted diagnostic tests for Coronavirus on 639 residents between July 30 and August 5, but all test results were negative, bringing the cumulative number of Covid-19 test subjects to 35,947, with no casualties reported so far.
