SEOUL, July 23 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's new suspected COVID-19 cases remained below 200 for the third consecutive day, according to its state media Saturday.
More than 120 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.
