Summary
At least six people in North Korea have died and more than 350,000 have contracted an unusual fever since late April in an outbreak that "explosively spread nationwide," North Korean state media said Friday.The numbers come just a day after the authoritarian country acknowledged for the first time during the pandemic that the coronavirus was spreading within its borders.Officials reported Thursday that a group of people with fevers in Pyongyang, the capital, were tested Sunday and found to be infected with the BA.2 omicron subvariant. The country is also experiencing a food crisis, resulting in widespread undernourishment.“North Koreans are chronically malnourished and unvaccinated, there are barely any medicines left in the country, and the health infrastructure is incapable to deal with this pandemic,” Lina Yoon, senior Korea researcher for Human Rights Watch, told The New York Times.
