World first 100% recovery
This article had been updated to say "making Saint Lucia the only affected country in the world to become free of COVID-19 without any deaths", and that wording got added/removed a couple times. Greenland, Mauritania and Saint Barthélemy were listed as countries which achieved it first, but Greenland (autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark) and Saint Barthélemy (overseas collectivity of France) are not countries and Mauritania appears to have had a death before it's cases were completely closed. Are there any other examples to consider?

Alternatively, can anybody find a source specifically saying that St Lucia was first? Vaughan (talk) 18:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * A problem with discussions like this is semantics. Greenland was first at 8 April, but indeed it's a territory. Mauritania made a dubious claim on 18 April, but I doubt whether they have a clear picture of their huge country unlike the others which are islands who can effectively control people entering their territory. St Barth beat St Lucia by 1 day, but indeed that's a collectivity. Also it's too early to raise the flag which has just been said by the Ministy of Health as well.

Before turning everything around...
There is no overall consensus about most things, so please no reformatting of the whole document without adding any real new data.

1. Map. Indeed a map with specific regions would be nice, but that's not available.

2. Counts in the lead are always overlooked. There was a count when the island was "clean," but sadly the pandemic is ongoing once again.

3. Pasting of "clean up" templates do not work. This document has less 400 views a day and it's slowly declining. It's a small island with limited number of sources, so a complete story in prose isn't likely to happen. Just as with most other small countries. If you feel like rewriting it, go ahead, but don't paste templates which remain on the page for years...
