SEOUL, June 29 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's new suspected COVID-19 cases have remained below 10,000 for the fifth consecutive day, its state media said Wednesday.
More than 5,980 people showed symptoms of fever over a 24-hour period until 6 p.m. the previous day, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, citing data from the state emergency epidemic prevention headquarters.
It did not provide information on whether additional deaths have been reported.
The total number of fever cases since late April came to over 4.73 million as of 6 p.m. Tuesday, of which more than 4.72 million have recovered and at least 11,240 are being treated, it added.
