North Korea: Covid outbreak a great disaster, says Kim Jong-un
North Korea 's rapidly spreading Covid-19 outbreak is a " great disaster" for the country, its leader Kim Jong-un has said, according to state media.
Mr Kim called for an all-out battle to tackle the spread of The Virus during an emergency meeting on Saturday.

State media reports that 27 people have died since April after suffering a fever.
The reports do not say whether they tested positive for Covid, apart from one death in the capital Pyongyang which was confirmed to be a case of the Omicron variant.
The unprecedented admission on Thursday marked The End of two years of North Korean claims to be free of Covid.
The secretive country rejected offers from The International community to supply millions of AstraZeneca and Chinese-made jabs Last Year . Instead, it claimed it had controlled Covid by sealing its borders early in January 2020.
It shares land borders with South Korea and China, which have both battled outbreaks. China is now struggling to contain an Omicron wave with lockdowns in its biggest cities.
At a meeting outlining new Covid rules on Thursday , Mr Kim was seen wearing a face mask on television for what was believed to be the First Time .
