On 6th June, this tiny country announced that it has been able to eradicate coronavirus and no one in its population is infected. There has been no fatality.
By the first week of June, all the 18 people of the country who had contracted COVID-19 were declared healthy and COVID-free. The announcement came after 45 days of zero COVID-19 reports and since no one died of the disease in this country, Fiji has a 100% recovery rate.
It took Montenegro 69 days after its first case of COVID-19 to declare itself free from the dreaded virus. On 24th May, Montenegro became the first country in Europe to vanquish COVID-19.
This quaint West Indian country also reported only a few cases, just 15 to be specific, and all were cured by the latter half of May.
This archipelago of 115 islands on the Indian Ocean is famous as a tourist destination. Yet, it was able to withstand the devastation caused by COVID-19. There were only 11 cases of the virus and no one died from it.
One of the earliest countries to free itself from the clutches of COVID-19, Papua New Guinea declared its status as a corona-free country on May 4th. This country too has a zero fatality rate.
It’s not just the countries we mentioned, nations that were gravely affected by the COVID-19 earlier like Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Thailand and Switzerland are now showing a rapidly declining curve.
The Union Government has said that we are on our way to flattening the curve. According to WHO, India will reach its peak in July after which the cases will decline. Two vaccines are being tested right now and once the human trials have concluded, we might have protection from this dreaded disease.
Only if we stand together can we make our country free from the COVID-19 pandemic. Let us all cooperate with each other and observe safety measures to stay safe and healthy!
Stay home and stay safe by getting yourself tested from time to time.

Will the third wave of corona be equally dangerous as the second wave of corona?
Because of the best government at the centre taking best possible steps, we will soon become covid-19 free. Cooperation by all political parties and general public in this herculian task would have made this more easy.
