North Korea claimed that its fever-related daily cases suspected to be COVID-19 fell below two-thousand.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) reported on Thursday that around one-thousand-950 new fever patients were confirmed in the 24-hour period leading up to 6 p.m. Wednesday nationwide.

Quoting the nation's state emergency epidemic prevention headquarters, the KCNA said that about 24-hundred patients recovered during the same period.

North Korea did not mention new deaths, the death toll or the fatality rate.

According to the most recent update on Wednesday, the KCNA said that one new death was reported the previous day, raising the death toll to 74 with a fatality rate of zero-point-002 percent.

Cumulative cases in the North compiled since late April grew to nearly four-point-76 million, with North Korean authorities claiming that 99-point-nine percent of them have fully recovered.
