With no recorded cases of coronavirus and all outstanding tests returning as negative, the Cook Islands government has declared the archipelago a "COVID-19" free zone, News.am reported citing DW.
The South Pacific island chain with a population of 17,000, is one of the first nations to declare itself such a zone.
In March, when the first cases of this disease were reported in New Zealand, 3,000 km away, restrictions were imposed on the archipelago; but some of them have already been eased.
