Corona virus invaded the east and west of the earth, and the World Health Organization described it as a “pandemic”, but few countries have not yet announced its arrival, and this is a source of pleasure if its declaration is correct and the virus has misled it through its door.
Although this virus infected more than 775 thousand people, and caused the death of more than 37 thousand others, and did not distinguish between rich and poor countries or between the major industrialized countries and those that are developing, the threat of this new virus has not yet “officially” reached to 20 countries.
According to media reports, including what was published by the American “Newsweek” magazine, Corona was unable, as of Monday evening, to reach 4 Asian countries and 6 African countries, in addition to 10 countries in the continent of Oceania, which is stationed in the tropical Pacific Islands.
The strange thing is that the countries that Corona has not yet invaded are either closed to themselves or suffer from poverty and poor health care, or they are countries rarely heard by anyone, and their names and coordinates of their locations may not have been terminated for the “ears” of this virus.
Corona-free Asian countries include “Yemen, North Korea, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan”.
The African countries are “Burundi, Malawi, Sierra Leone, the Kingdom of Lesotho, Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe.”
Oceania included the list of “Solomon Islands, Nauru Republic, Vanuatu Republic, Samoa State, Republic of Kiribati, Federated States of Micronesia, Kingdom of Tonga, Republic of Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau and Tuvalu State”.
For its part, Newsweek attributed the non-arrival of the virus to North Korea, despite its occurrence on the borders of China and South Korea that Corona has inflicted, as being one of the first countries in the world to start closing its borders and putting other intensive measures to combat epidemics to prevent the spread of the emerging virus.
Although the aforementioned countries did not record any infections with the Corona virus, as of Monday evening, they were involved in the crisis and imposed a general closure to prevent the virus from reaching it.
For example, Sierra Leone announced, on Tuesday, the imposition of a one-year state of emergency to help contain and limit any potential spread of the Corona virus.
As of Monday morning, the African continent has recorded 5 thousand cases of Corona virus and 150 deaths, since the virus arrived in Cairo in mid-February, according to the American Associated Press.
The World Health Organization, officially on its website, announced the arrival of the Corona virus to 203 countries and places, including the Princess Elmas cruise ship, which saw 712 people infected with the virus.
While media reports indicate that South Sudan is free of any infection with the Corona virus, the World Health Organization has included this fledgling country in the list of countries that have received the virus, by registering one case.
The Corona virus appeared for the first time in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, last December, and it soon spread to other parts of the world, but it appears to be reluctant to travel to closed and remote countries, poor and not contained on the tourist map of the world.
