The impressive small number of cases is a result of Nicaragua's success containing the spread of the treacherous disease. 🙏 What measures are they taking? The friendly Central American nation with a population of nearly 7 million has completely closed its borders and enforced the use of face masks, social distancing and hygiene. 👍
