Among the 18 states in which there are still no confirmed cases of coronavirus, South Ossetia is included. According to experts, all countries lacking COVID-19 are located in the Eastern Hemisphere. Moreover, in some cases, the absence of confirmed episodes of coronavirus infection is associated with state policy or a poorly developed healthcare system, writes Krylya TV.
