GENEVA: North Korea, one of only a handful of countries not to have reported confirmed cases of COVID-19, has said that it continues testing and has more than 500 people in quarantine, the World Health Organization told Reuters on Tuesday .
"Since 31 December, 24,842 people have been released from quarantine, which includes 380 foreigners," he said. The WHO's website shows the latest global tally at nearly 1.3 million officially reported cases and 72,614 deaths in some 206 countries and territories - appearing to exclude North Korea, Lesotho, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Yemen.
The Geneva-based WHO said in February that North Korea had reported checking nearly 7,300 travellers over a six-week period to Feb 9. The health ministry said 141 travellers with fevers had tested negative for the novel coronavirus, it said.
