The Few Coronavirus Free Countries
Turkmenistan has not reported any cases of the coronavirus.
There are now only 12 countries without any coronavirus cases, 10 of them in Oceania. Most of them are among the 20 least-visited countries in the world. One case reported on May 13 took Lesotho off the list as the last country in Africa. Tajikistan, Yemen and Comoros have also just recently reported their first cases. The virus is also believed to have reached North Korea and Turkmenistan, the only two Asian countries on the list, but no cases of COVID-19 have officially been reported.
Oceania (10 countries): Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu;
Asia (2): North Korea, Turkmenistan.

Reading this list, it is striking how much of it came down to isolation and timing rather than anything anyone could plan for. The places that simply never had a case because few people pass through them really reframes what "free" means here, and the country-by-picture comparisons make the pattern easy to follow. Afterwards I went down a similar rabbit hole of data stories and, between articles, wasted a few minutes on sledrider unblocked — an odd contrast to the seriousness of the topic.
Interesting read — I hadn't realised how few places stayed open through all of this, and how much of it came down to timing and geography. The country-by-country comparisons make the pattern easy to follow. I have been digging into similar data stories on track dash, and the picture here lines up with what they have been tracking. Thanks for putting this together.
