INTRODUCTION

You have most probably heard of the UK.

But have you heard of The FK? It is a tiny country in Africa. It is one of only three countries in the world, that are completely surrounded by ONE country, the other two being Luxembourg (which is surrounded by Switzerland) and The Vatican (which is surrounded by Italy).

Well, some faint bells are beginning to ring in the heads of some of the Readers of this post. But let's not wait, because the bells are unlikely to ring any louder. Why? Because The FK is ...The Forgotten Kingdom (Lesotho)! (Resources 1-3)

AND SO WHAT?

As at close of business on the 2nd April 2020, according to the W. H. O., The FK, Lesotho was one of only four African countries with no single confirmed COVID-19 case (the others being inland South Sudan, and the island countries of Comoros and Sao Tome & Principe). This is despite the fact that The FK is completely surrounded by the African country with the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases (South Africa's latest tally is 1.4K cases, involving all the nine SA provinces).

CONCLUSION

It seems that even pathogens like viruses have forgotten The Forgotten Kingdom!!

These obvervations are important in terms of reinforcing the importance and efficiency of Social Distancing as a core weapon in the prevention and control of COVID-19 infection. Islands have traditionally been the masters at Social Isolation, and have been over centuries been able to avert many epidemics and other calamities. Indeed the least popular places in the world today in terms of Travel and Tourism, are the ones with the least incidence and prevalence of COVID-19 infection.
