CORONAVIRUS: PANDEMIC NOT FOR EVERYONE, here are the NATIONS WITHOUT COVID-19
There are some ZONES where the CORONAVIRUS has never arrivedThe Covid-19 takes place quasi one year, and entered our lives like a bolt from the blue, in every corner of the world, indeed, not really. There are isolated places on our planet where the virus hasn’t arrived and two areas that claim they haven’t had even a single case. Let’s talk about Turkmenistan and North Korea
These are the two countries that “officially” have not yet had even a case of coronavirus infection, despite bordering on territories affected by the pandemic. The Turkmenistan it borders with Iran, where there are more than 828 thousand registered cases. North Korea, on the other hand, borders China, where the pandemic is thought to have started, and with South Korea, where there were more than 30 thousand cases. The Turkmenistan and the North Korea, however, also share the fact that they are led by authoritarian governments: they are two countries where there is no freedom of the press and a lot of information is kept hidden for propaganda reasons.
In July, a team of officials fromWHO was able to enter Turkmenistan and collect testimonies, according to which there have been numerous possible cases of coronavirus transmission, and in general an increase in respiratory tract infections and pneumonia. Local authorities admitted that the number of deaths related to respiratory problems increased in 2020, but claimed that the cause is air pollution.
As for the Korea, the experts debated whether he actually had no cases of infection. It was in fact one of the first countries to close its borders last January. In February, the government announced it would not reopen them until a cure for COVID-19 had not been found, making masks mandatory and introducing restrictions on public gatherings.
The places where it is really plausible that the virus never arrived are islands and isolated archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean: how Nauru, Tonga, Kiribati, Micronesia, Palau, Samoa and Tuvalu. The fact that these countries are located in the middle of the Pacific has been beneficial. There are obviously other places on Earth where the coronavirus has not arrived, as far as we know. The biggest is Antarctica, where there are no permanent residents but there are researchers from various countries. Another very small place where COVID is not there is an atoll of the Hawaii, Kure, which is part of a natural park.
In short, there are really some happy islands, the real ones.
