While the Coronavirus (COVID-19) started in China, its wings have spread globally with little trace of the virus left in China. The continent of Asia in which China is located has also been hit hard. But China seems to be out of the pandemic box in escaping the wrath of the virus. While that makes one wonder what the mystery behind it is, a puzzle remains to be solved why are the African and Oceania Continents slow in catching the pandemic? Till 11th July 2020, Oceania recorded 11,010 cases while Africa had 559,432 cases. This is in contrast to what Asia has – 2,796,583 cases; America – 6,549,560 cases and Europe – 2,558,747 cases.
