Close on the heels of Mauritania and Mauritius, Eritrea has become
virus-free. All 39 patients successfully recovered from COVID-19 and
had been discharged from hospital. Eritrea has not recorded any
deaths. Other countries, which did not record any death, are
Madagascar, Central Africa Republic, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles,
Lesotho, Rwanda and Uganda.
However, Eretria’s health ministry officials cautioned that this
important milestone should not induce complacency at this point of
time and called upon citizens to fully adhere to and diligently
implement the guidelines in force until the ongoing task of detailed
and comprehensive assessment to gauge the spread of the pandemic in
the entire country with full certainty is accomplished.
The development has given confidence to the administration to bring
the economy back to normalcy. In the post-Covid-19 days, these
countries, which did not record any incidence or minimal number of
incidences, would be closely studied by virologists and others to know
about the attributes of people to withstand the virus attack, which
claimed the lives of more than 2 lakh people particularly in the
developed world.
