China denies COVID vaccines to defectors from North Korea: Report
China has been discriminating against defectors from North Korea by denying them COVID vaccines and thus putting their lives at risk, reported US-based Radio Network Voice of America (VOA). China has refused to provide treatment to refugees from North Korea, even after it lifted its COVID restrictions.
Due to a lack of identity proof, the refugees are not provided treatment even if they face serious COVID symptoms.
The active cases now comprise 0.01 per cent of the total infections while the national COVID-19 recovery rate has risen to 98.81 per cent, according to the Health ministry's website.
The total number of Covid cases was recorded at 4.46 crore (4,46,81,781).
