The nations and territories not yet affected by the virus are drawn from continents and territories like Africa, Asia and Oceania.
However, it must be said that while these countries have no mention of cases in their borders, the governments have put in place precautionary measures in case of any possible outbreak.
There is no doubt that the global statistics on the virus are alarming with Italy being the epicentre of the disease in Europe.
