North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared victory over COVID-19 and ordered preventive measures eased just three months after acknowledging an outbreak, claiming the country's widely disputed success would be recognised as a global health miracle. The North's official Korean Central News Agency also reported that Kim's sister blamed the North Korean outbreak on leaflets flown from across the border from South Korea.
