Covid-19 wrap: Global cases cross 23.97m, North Korea issues warning and Gaza man dies amid lockdown

Infections have been reported in more than 210 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019.Seoul – North Korean state media on Wednesday showed leader Kim Jong Un at a meeting of a top committee issuing warnings about the coronavirus and a looming typhoon, following international speculation over his state of health.

The impoverished North – whose crumbling health system would struggle to cope with a major virus outbreak – has not confirmed a single case of the disease that has swept the world since first emerging in neighbouring China. The world's second-most populous country is third behind the United States and Brazil in terms of total caseload, and has recorded the world's highest single-day caseload consistently since 7 August 7, a Reuters tally showed.

The three other cases were in northern Gaza Strip, indicating the virus has begun to spread into different areas of the enclave of two million people. DUBAI – Iran's death toll from the novel coronavirus rose by 119 to 21 020, the health ministry's spokesperson told state TV on Wednesday, with the total number of identified cases rising to 365 606.

Myanmar's outbreaks have been relatively small compared with other countries in the region after it found its first case in March, with only six deaths and 574 infections reported so far.
