North Korea Declares Victory Over Covid - 10 Aug 2022
Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un makes a speech on Wednesday Aug 10, 2022 at a meeting on COVID policy with thousands of unmasked officials sitting indoors in Pyongyang, North Korea. Kim ordered the lifting of maximum anti-epidemic measures imposed in May though adding that North Korea must maintain a steel-strong anti-epidemic barrier and intensifying the anti-epidemic work until the end of the global health crisis, North Korea\'s KCNA news agency reported on Thursday. North Korea has never confirmed how many people caught COVID, apparently because it lacks the means to conduct widespread testing. Instead, it has reported daily numbers of patients with fever, a tally that rose to some 4.77 million. But it has registered no new such cases since July 29.
