There are many articles and videos on the Internet: "As of now, there are no countries in the world with epidemics"? Is this true?
1. Democratic People's Republic of Korea
North Korea implements a policy of closing the country and is currently the only country isolated from the outside world. At the end of April this year, Omickron began to invade North Korea for unknown reasons, and on May 10, the North Korean government issued a national lockdown order. It is reported that North Korea has a total of about 4.77 million confirmed fever cases and a total of 74 deaths. All fever cases have recovered. On August 10 this year, North Korea held a national emergency epidemic prevention summary meeting, announcing that the largest emergency epidemic prevention war has achieved a major victory. Except for cities and counties on the frontline and border areas, mask orders and other epidemic prevention measures have been canceled across the country.
2, Turkmenistan
As early as 2020, the World Health Organization delegation held a press conference in the Turkmenistan capital Ashgabat , saying that there has not yet been a COVID-19 epidemic in Turkey. But in 2021, the third batch of new crown vaccine provided by the Chinese government arrived in Turkmenistan in two batches on August 15 and 17. In fact, it has been proved that the new crown epidemic has occurred in the country, but it has claimed that there have not yet been any new crown cases in the country, and there are also a series of mysterious operations, such as prohibiting talking about the "new crown virus", otherwise the police will take them to drink tea. As long as no one mentions it, it will not exist, and also promote "smoking therapy"... As the epidemic becomes more and more serious, Turkish also begins to follow other countries to implement epidemic prevention measures, but does not report cases to the outside world. In a simple sentence: We make the decision on our own internal affairs, and I say there is no one!
3, Tuvalu
It is rumored that there is no epidemic in this country, but it is not the case. Since November 11 this year, the country has begun to report a large number of epidemics, basically announced every three days, and the number of confirmed cases has reached 2,805. Of course, this country's population is really small, with only 11,000 people. Most of its territory is coral reef islands, located in the south of Pacific . It is one of the least developed countries in the world announced by the United Nations. I really don’t know how the epidemic broke out on such an isolated island. I wish them all good luck!
Specially states that China has no diplomatic relations with Tuvalu at the moment, and the Cold War policy was implemented during the " Cold War ", and Tuvalu established the so-called "diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities in 1979. There was some ease after the end of the Cold War, and after 2008, there were not much interactions between the two sides. I hope they understand the current affairs and return to the mainstream perception that "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory" as soon as possible!
4, Nauru
Norube national conditions are similar to Tuvalu. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. It is located about 42 kilometers south of the Central Pacific Ocean and equator. It is composed of an independent coral reef island. The entire island is 6 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide, and the land area is 21.1 square kilometers. In 2018, Nauru had a population of about 12,700. On July 7 this year, the first death toll in the Republic of Nauru was confirmed, and it was a female weightlifter Rianna Solomon, who was 40 years old. Currently, there are at least more than 4,000 infections. The government has also introduced a series of policies to prohibit ordinary passengers from entering the country, requiring people to stay at home and not travel unless necessary, prohibit attending gatherings of more than three non-family members, wear masks in public places, close schools, churches and non-essential commercial facilities, and fines may be imposed on violators and imprisonment for up to half a year.

Special Note: On May 14, 2015, Nauru President Scotty signed a "Resumption of Diplomacy Communiqué" with the Taiwan authorities in Taipei, announcing the "Resumption of Diplomacy" of Nauru. Another "small" small country that ignores the trend of history!
Summary: In the past few years of the outbreak, countries and regions around the world have basically been spared! Faced with the epidemic, countries have all kinds of strange policies, and the only one who truly cares about the people is a great country in the East!
