Covid patients in North Korea are being placed in 'quarantine camps' and left to starve to death, an activist has claimed. 

Further reports suggest people with symptoms of the virus are 'being boarded up in their homes without food' and that the authorities have incinerated scores of the bodies of Covid victims. 

Tim Peters, a Christian activist who runs Seoul-based charity Helping Hands Korea, said sources in North Korea claim coronavirus 'quarantine camps' have been set up in cities near the Chinese border.

 
But those incarcerated in the camps are often left without medical care and starvation is rife, he said.
