Believe it or not, there are still countries with zero cases of the coronavirus. These are the following:
BTW, Slovenia has become the first European country to proclaim an end to the viral pandemic at home, AP reported.
It said on Friday that Covid-19 is under control and there is no longer a need for extraordinary health measures. The government says EU residents are free to cross into Slovenia from Austria, Italy and Hungary at predetermined checkpoints – although most non-EU nationals will need to undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine.
The first coronavirus case in Slovenia was recorded on March 04 – a returnee from neighbouring Italy. By May 13, there were 1,463 confirmed cases and 103 deaths in Slovenia.
Still, I am expecting the coronavirus to make a return.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, saw cases rise to more than 20,000.
Also yesterday, Russia announced more than 10,000 new coronavirus infections, bringing the country’s total to 262,843 – the third-highest in the world after the United States and Spain.
On Thursday, Russian officials defended the country against claims that its unusually low mortality rate from Covid-19 is suspicious, maintaining that its method of ascribing cause of death is “exceptionally precise”.
China had good tidings yesterday. It has gone a month without announcing any new fatalities from the coronavirus.
The last time a death was reported was on April 14. I reckon it's just a respite because again, I believe it'll come back.
And for many other countries, they shouldn't be expecting a hiatus any time soon. For sure, Covid-19 will be with all of us for quite a while.
