Help has been offered to North Korea for fighting the virus by South Korea and the United States, Seoul's deputy national security advisor said. But no response has been received till now. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Experts feel that the majority of cases should be classified as COVID-19 because, despite a dearth of diagnostic tools, North Korean health officials can identify the symptoms of fevers produced by other infectious diseases. &nbsp;
