SEOUL, July 8 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's new suspected COVID-19 cases remained below 2,000 for the second consecutive day, according to its state media Friday.
More than 1,630 people showed symptoms of fever over a 24-hour period until 6 p.m. the previous day, the official Korean Central News Agency said, citing data from the state emergency epidemic prevention headquarters.
It did not provide information on whether additional deaths have been reported.
