North Korea’ s unvaccinated population is attempting to suppress a Covid-19 outbreak using tea and salt water, in lieu of effective antiviral drugs.
The country has today said it was achieving “good results” in its fight against its first confirmed Covid-19 outbreak, as the number of people with symptoms rose past 2 million.
But little is known about how North Korea is calculating the number of fever and Covid patients and state media from within the country is recommending various traditional treatments such as honeysuckle tea to deal with what is being referred to as "fever".
