Low Coronavirus Count In South-Asian Countries

The coronavirus pandemic has brought the United States and European countries to their knees but its attack has been very limited in South Asian countries so far.

While there are over 3 lakh 36 coronavirus cases in America alone, in India, which has the world’s second-largest population, this figure stands at 3,588 and 99 fatalities.

The same situation prevails in other South Asian nations.

According to the Johns Hopkins University, after India, the highest number of patients (at 3,157) in South Asia is in Pakistan and the death toll is 47.

On third spot is Afghanistan, where 349 patients have been found and seven people have died.

Similarly, 176 patients have been found in Sri Lanka and five people have died.

The number of patients in Bangladesh is 88 and eight people have succumbed to the disease.

In the Maldives, 19 patients have been found but there have been no deaths here.

The number of patients in Nepal is nine and in Bhutan, this figure is five and there have been no deaths in both these countries so far.

If the figures from these eight countries are added, then the total number of patients is 7,391 and a total of 166 deaths have been recorded.
