The COVID-19 pandemic in Nauru is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Nauru on 2 April 2022.
Background
[edit]By March 2020, the government declared a national emergency as a preventive measure, suspending all but one weekly flight to the country and instituting a 14-day quarantine for all arrivals.[2] By June 2020, the government had formed a COVID-19 Taskforce.[3]
On 14 December, a historical case was identified on a shipping vessel. Since the case remained on board, it is not considered to have entered Nauru.[4]
As of 2 May 2022 in reporting to the WHO, there have been five confirmed COVID-19 cases; 22,976 vaccines doses have been administered, accounting for 79% of the population with two doses and 49% with the booster.[5]
By July 2023, the government had disbanded the COVID-19 Taskforce, redirecting COVID 19 cases to the Republic of Nauru Hospital.[6]
