Bhutan's success in avoiding coronavirus is almost unrivalled but a rare patient death — just the kingdom's fourth — shows more work was needed to fight the pandemic there, AFP quotes its leader as saying.
The remote Himalayan nation of around 800,000 people, sandwiched between China and India, has recorded fewer Covid fatalities than almost anywhere else in the world.
But Bhutan's Prime Minister Lotay Tshering — a physician who still conducts surgeries on the weekend as a “de-stresser” from the pressures of office — said this week's death was “a bitter reminder that we need to do more”.
