Apart from a few isolated border cases in managed quarantine, the Federated States of Micronesia FSM had remained free of the coronavirus due to its location around 1,km north of Papua New Guinea. That was until two students tested positive after arriving on the island of Kosrae from Pohnpei, the Micronesian capital island, earlier this week. Local health officials then confirmed 10 more positive results among 11 family members of the two initial cases. A statement from the office of President David Panuelo on Tuesday July 19 said Micronesia faces "a rapidly evolving situation", while confirming dozens of extra cases on both Kosrae and Pohnpei. The local health authority has discouraged public gatherings and advised the use of face masks at all times, but said "all public services will remain open". Subsequent testing has also shown that 25 of 28 patients with flu-like symptoms at a hospital on Kosrae tested positive for Covid As a result, the Micronesian island of Yap, about 2,km west of Pohnpei, announced on Tuesday that the passengers and crew of a local ship had been isolated immediately after arriving. The spread of the coronavirus across Micronesia means the Marshall Islands and Tuvalu are believed to be the last two Pacific nations that are currently Covidfree. Micronesia plans to lift border restrictions from Aug 1, but visitors will need to show proof of full vaccination and a negative Covid test to enter. In making that announcement last May, President Panuelo said he hoped opening up would encourage the country's , residents, spread across more than islands, to maximise their vaccination coverage.
