The World Health Organization said that health authorities in North Korea announced that they had tested the emerging coronavirus on about 42,000 people, but had not found any positive cases of the virus.
In its weekly report, the World Health Organization showed that a total of 678 North Koreans underwent a coronavirus test from October 8 to 14, but they all turned out to be negative.
Of the newly tested North Koreans, 113 people contracted an influenza-like illness or acute respiratory infections, while the rest were health care workers, the report said.
