All the North Koreans who were confirmed to have been infected with H1N1 influenza have recovered from the disease.

U.S.-based Radio Free Asia quoted a World Health Organization official as saying that nine the North Korean patients have completely recovered from the new flu after receiving medical treatment. Thus, the quarantines have been lifted for all of the North Korean patients.

The WHO provided two-point-four million doses of Tamiflu to North Korea and 71 other developing countries in May when the new flu broke out.
