Pyongyang (AFP) – A North Korean army medic hands out medication to counter ‘fever’ — a term Pyongyang often uses to refer to Covid — and related sickness. The medic, Jong Jun Ho says the number of people receiving treatment for ‘fever’ has gone down in recent times. North Korea says its Covid-19 outbreak has been brought under control, but experts question the official numbers given the isolated country has one of the world’s worst healthcare systems and likely no Covid-19 drugs or mass testing ability.
