Countries free of corona virus you can go to
Corona virus has reached most of the countries of the world that are still suffering from the effects of the spread of the epidemic in all respects.
It seems strange if we know that there are a few countries that have not reached the Corona virus at all and have not recorded any infection, despite the number of infections in the world reaching 95 million, and the number of deaths due to the virus has exceeded the two million mark.
Indeed, there are 11 countries in the world that the Corona virus, which causes the Covid-19 epidemic, has not reached, according to the American "New York Post" newspaper. A little over a year after the virus appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
And it may not be strange if we know that all but one of these countries are islands in the Pacific Ocean, and external traffic to and from them was almost stalled after they closed their doors early. This prevented all international visitors from entering their shores.
Cook Islands:
With a population of about 17,000, the measures and precautions taken by the Cook Islands included closing schools on Rarotonga, the country's most populous island, and encouraging social distancing in public spaces. But after a few weeks, life was back to normal.
Tuvalu:
With an estimated population of 11,500, this country quickly closed its borders, and imposed a strict two-week quarantine on anyone entering the country.
Tonga:
It has a population of about 104 thousand people.
This island country worked, at an early date, to redirect cruise ships and imposed a ban on international travel, which contributed to preventing the virus from entering it.
Pitcairn Islands:
It is a British Crown made up of four islands in the Pacific Ocean, with a population of only 50.
Palau:
It is an archipelago of more than 300 islands, with an estimated population of 18,000.
Palau has initiated the necessary preventive measures and precautions to prevent the entry of the Corona virus from the first days of the outbreak of the epidemic, suspending all trips and imposing strict quarantine on citizens returning to their homes.
Niue:
It is an island country located in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometers northwest of New Zealand, enjoying self-rule and free connection with New Zealand, and its population, most of whom are Polynesians, is about 1,612 people.
Nauru:
Island nations are also located in the Pacific Ocean, with an estimated population of 12,700.
It is one of the poorest countries on earth, and it gets money by leasing most of its land to Australia, to be used as a detention camp for illegal immigrants and refugees.
Kiribati:
It is an archipelago of islands located in the Pacific Ocean roughly on the equator, with a population of approximately 116,000 people.
It can be said that one of the main reasons why the Corona virus has not reached it is because there are very few airlines that have airlines to Kiribati. So it was easier for this nation to impose a travel ban.
Tokelau:
It is a province of New Zealand that consists of 3 tropical atolls in the South Pacific, with an estimated area of about 12 square kilometers and a population of about 1500 people, and it is one of the few countries that the Corona virus that causes the Covid-19 epidemic has not reached.
Micronesia:
It is an archipelago of the 600 islands, with a population of about 112,000
The government warned early on that “passengers are not permitted to disembark any marine vessel or aircraft of origin outside the Federated States of Micronesia. With the exception of individuals who have received an exception from the national government or those who work in commercial sea vessels that adhere to precautionary measures and protocols, ”which contributed to the deadly virus not reaching them.
Turkmenistan:
The former Soviet state located in Central Asia, with an estimated population of 5 million.
It is the only "non-island" country in the group, and this Central Asian country has not recorded any infections with the virus yet, according to official announcements, knowing that it is a large country in terms of area, exceeding half a million square kilometers.
