Two years have passed since the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) hit the world. The virus changed the definition of normal and affected almost every country, whether travel, education, or medical care.
The disease spread around the world at a disturbing speed. It continued to mutate regularly to emerge in a more dangerous and vaccine-resistant form in some cases.
Countries the United States and Europe have recently been among the worst-hit regions. The new Omicron variant has wreaked havoc. More than 800,000 people have already died in the US, and infections continue to rise.
But surprisingly, some countries have managed to avoid the coronavirus pandemic since it began in late 2019, without reporting cases.
