North Korea is facing its “greatest upheaval,” said Kim Jong-un, as it battles a Covid outbreak with over 280,000 people now being treated with symptoms.
The secretive state reported 21 new deaths on Friday among people with fevers, the state news agency reported, as the country battles its first official Covid outbreak.
About 280,810 people were being treated and 27 people have died since a fever of unidentified origins started to be reported in the country since late April, KCNA news agency said.
