North Korea berates South Korea’s top diplomat for doubt over ‘zero COVID-19 cases’

    1. North Korea lashed out at South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha for casting doubt over its claim that there were no coronavirus outbreaks there, warning of consequences for her “impudent” comment, state media said on Wednesday (Dec 9).
    2. Kang said on Saturday that it was “hard to believe” that North Korea had no coronavirus cases even as the country has been making all-out efforts to prevent the disease.
    3. North Korea has not officially confirmed any infections, though it has said there were thousands of “suspected cases”.
    4. In its most recent weekly report to the World Health Organization, North Korea said it had no confirmed cases of coronavirus, although it cited 8,594 “suspected cases”.
    5. The pandemic has further isolated North Korea, which has turned toward more top-down decision making where little is discussed on the country’s measures to tackle COVID-19, Kang said.
