A doctor disseminates information about the coronavirus to people in a waiting room at the Pyongchon District People's Hospital in Pyongyang AFP/KIM Won JinSEOUL: North Korea remains totally free of the coronavirus, a senior health official in Pyongyang has insisted, despite mounting scepticism overseas as confirmed global infections near one million.
"Not one single person has been infected with the novel coronavirus in our country so far," Pak told AFP. Experts have said the North is particularly vulnerable to the virus because of its weak medical system, and defectors have accused Pyongyang of covering up an outbreak. US President Donald Trump also said North Korea"is going through something" and offered"cooperation in the anti-epidemic work", in a personal letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
