The Coronavirus has invaded most parts of the world. As a result, the World Health Organization ( WHO) has declared the deadly virus a "pandemic. But few countries are still safe of that virus so far.

This is a source of pleasure if it is properly reported if the virus has not sneaked into these countries.

Reports show that 20 states have not been experienced the threat of Covid-19.

This virus infected more than 800 thousand people, and caused the death of more than 37 thousand others. It does not distinguish between rich and poor countries or between the major industrialized countries and those that are developing.

The threat of this novel virus has not yet "officially" reached yet 20 countries across the world.

The strange thing is that the countries that the Coronavirus has not yet invaded are either closed to their borders or suffer from poverty and poor health care, or they are countries rarely heard by anyone.

The names and location of those countries may not have been known to people evens the experts of the international affairs.

Corona-free Asian countries include: Yemen, North, Middle and East of Africa, Sierra Leone, the Kingdom of Lesotho, Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe."

Oceania include the list of "Solomon Islands, the Republic of Nauru, the Republic of Vanuatu, the State of Samoa, the Republic of Kiribati, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Kingdom of Tonga, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau and the State of Tuvalu".

The above mentioned states did not announce any infections with the virus.

For example, North Korea, despite having joint boundaries with China and South Korea, which were wreaked by the virus, it was one of the first countries in the world that began to close its borders and put other intensive measures to combat epidemic to prevent the spread of the emerging virus.

Although the aforementioned countries did not record any infections with the Coronavirus until up to now, they were involved in the crisis and imposed a general closure to prevent the virus from reaching it.

Sierra Leone, in West Africa, has announced, on Tuesday, the imposition of a one-year state of emergency to help contain and limit any potential spread of the Coronavirus.

As of Monday morning, the African continent had recorded 5,000 cases of Coronavirus and 150 deaths, since the virus arrived in Cairo in mid-February.

The World Health Organization, on its website, officially announced that the Coronavirus had reached 203 countries and places, including the Princess Diamond cruise ship, which saw 712 people infected with the virus.
