SEOUL - North Korea remains totally free of the coronavirus, a senior health official in Pyongyang has insisted, despite mounting scepticism overseas as known cases of infection topped one million worldwide.
"We have carried out preemptive and scientific measures such as inspections and quarantine for all personnel entering our country and thoroughly disinfecting all goods, as well as closing borders and blocking sea and air lanes."Aside from China, South Korea endured one of the worst early outbreaks of the virus.
"I can tell you that is an impossible claim based on all of the intel that we have seen," Abrams told VOA News. And Choi Jung-hun, a former North Korean doctor who fled to the South in 2012, told AFP:"I heard there are many deaths in North Korea but the authorities are not saying that it's caused by the coronavirus."
