The spread of COVID-19 is extensive and is believed to have
reached all corners of the globe. But surprisingly there are some minute parts
of the world that have escaped the coronavirus wrath. The following Infographic
shows the countries that have not yet reported any case of coronavirus.
Of course, there are some discrepancies on this record. For example,
North Korea has not yet identified any case of coronavirus in their region. However,
South Korea contradicts these claims and says that the COVID-19 has indeed spread
there via the border of China.
Additionally, the media of North Koreas is one of the most strictly
controlled in the world and thus makes it hard to determine whether the allegations
made by South Korea are authentic or not!
The situation became more confusing when the supreme leader
of North Korea – Kim Jong-un mysteriously disappeared from the public eye. During
that time, it was presumed that he was either dead or recovering from major
heart surgery. However, he finally resurfaced, calming the gossip mongers.
Similar to North Korea, Turkmenistan also has strict
censorship rules and remains free from COVID-19 – as of this writing.
African country Lesotho has also not reported any cases of
coronavirus, and so are some nations situated on the Pacific Islands including
the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
The coronavirus has affected 212 countries across the world
with 2 conveyances. As of May 5, 2020, the total number of diagnoses from
COVID-19 worldwide is 3,673,468 and 253,404 deaths.
