North Korea said Friday six people have died from COVID-19 and more than 18,000 people nationwide had reported symptoms of fever the previous day alone.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the country's state emergency epidemic prevention headquarters Thursday and examined antivirus efforts, a day after Pyongyang declared a shift to a "maximum emergency prevention system," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
Since late April, an unknown fever has spread "explosively" across the North, affecting 350,000 people, according to the KCNA. It added that 162,200 people have been fully treated so far.
"On May 12 alone, some 18,000 persons with fever occurred nationwide and as of now up to 187,800 people are being isolated and treated," the KCNA said in its English-language report.
The North also reported six COVID-19 deaths, among which one person tested positive for the Omicron variant.

He called on all provinces, cities and counties to lock down their areas to prevent the further spread of the "malicious virus."
Kim then urged public health authorities to thoroughly observe all patients with symptoms of fever, set up scientific treatment methods and further strengthen the country's measures for supplying medicine.
"It is the most important challenge and supreme tasks facing our Party to reverse the immediate public health crisis situation at an early date, restore the stability of epidemic prevention and protect the health and wellbeing of our people," he said.
On Thursday, the North announced its first case of COVID-19 and declared the implementation of a "maximum emergency" virus control system. Kim appeared in public wearing a mask for the first time as he presided over a politburo meeting. (Yonhap)
