Since Thailand, Japan and South Korea reported the first cases of COVID-19 outside China on January 20, the novel coronavirus has swept across much of the globe — 92.4% of it, in fact. As of May 6, a total of *182* nations have reported infections of the novel coronavirus. Comoros became the most recent country to confirm a case on Apr 30, which means Lesotho is the last-remaining country in Africa without a case.
But the virus has not reached every nation, yet.
