Greenland is now only Coronavirus affected country with no active cases
Greenland is that the first and only country within the world suffering from the novel coronavirus pandemic to now haven't any active cases after the sole 11 people to contract the virus recovered.
The National Medical Office in Greenland reported that 11 people tested positive out 844 tests conducted within the country of roughly 57,000 people. There are still 51 tests awaiting a result as of Thursday.
The 11 cases were found within the Nuuk, the country's capital, consistent with a report by the EUobserver. Nuuk is the most populous city within the country with over 18,000 residents.
The report stated that the capital city is closed off and people who wish to travel in or out require special permission. Greenland closed all of its borders so as to stay the novel coronavirus contained. The country took drastic measures within the hopes of preventing history from repeating itself within its borders.
"A grim history of deadly epidemics delivered to Greenland within the 18th and 19th century by European colonizers has fueled fears that the coronavirus, if not checked, will fast reach the various small outlying villages, thereby creating urgent and impossible demands for emergency air transportation and medical care in Greenland's small hospitals," consistent with the report.
"On Friday it'll be fortnight that we've been careful and still nobody here shows any signs of illness. If nobody is infected, i feel it'll be sensible to permit a more relaxed way of being together here in Saattut, but I do not know what the plan is. Perhaps they're going to relax the principles after Easter," Mathiassen said.
"Our capacity to affect respiratory insufficiency is restricted. If the system is overrun by too many patients with severe symptoms, many that could are saved with the proper treatment will die. rather than allowing the virus to spread, it's all about keeping it cornered until a vaccine is out there. I think we'll need to have little or no contact with others for an extended time, perhaps for an additional 12 months," Rosing Olsen said.
