Great news from the cold Iceland as for the first time since the start of the outbreak no new cases have been recorded in 24 hours.

It’s interesting to notice that Iceland has enforced no lockdown, but has banned the gatherings of more than 20 people. Besides having a rather small population of 364,134 people, the key for the country was an aggressive testing and contact tracing.

The Directorate of Health stated: “Testing and contact tracing are one of the key reasons why a lockdown has not been considered necessary up to this point. There is also another reason, no less important, we have pursued a very aggressive policy of quarantine for individuals suspected to be at risk of having contracted the virus for much longer and at a higher scale than most other countries we are aware of.”

The nation recorded just 10 death for Coronavirus in total.
