Can Iceland's Experience Help Solve The Coronavirus Mystery?

With a population slightly smaller than that of New Orleans, Iceland has now become a coronavirus research lab. But the country’s small population (around 360,000 inhabitants) isn’t the main factor to consider. 

As of April 17, there had been 1,739 cases of coronavirus and eight deaths in Iceland – figures that are very low in contrast to (and due to) the high number of tests being carried out. It is calculated that around 10% of the population has been tested, a figure that is five times the rate of testing carried out not only in Spain but also in Germany, one of the European countries that have managed this crisis most effectively.https://www.huffingtonpost.in/
