North Korea reported no new fever cases on Saturday, the first time since its acknowledgement of COVID\u002D19 outbreak in mid\u002DMay.

North Korea said earlier this month it was on a path to “finally defuse” its first publicly declared coronavirus crisis even as Asian neighbors experience a resurgence in infections driven by Omicron subvariants.

Infectious disease experts have cast doubts on North Korea’s claims of progress, with the World Health Organization saying last month it believed the situation was getting worse, not better, amid an absence of independent data. North Korea’s latest report on the death toll among fever patients stood at 74 as of July 5, but Shin Young-jeon, a professor at Hanyang University’s medical school in Seoul, said such low fatalities figures were nearly “impossible.

Despite the zero-new-case claim, North Korea is likely to keep the strict social controls it has imposed in part using the pandemic as a pretext as long as the “maximum emergency epidemic prevention system” is in place.Article content
