First COVID-19 Cases Reported in Antarctica

Until now, Antarctica had been the only continent that was free of the virus

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 23, 2020 (HealthDay News) — A COVID-19 outbreak in Antarctica means that the new coronavirus is now spreading on every continent.

Thirty-six people on a research base on Antarctica’s northernmost Trinity Peninsula tested positive for COVID-19, the Chilean Army said Sunday. Until then, Antarctica had been the only continent that was free of the virus, CNN reported.

The affected personnel have been isolated and are being closely monitored, officials said.

COVID-19 was found in at least three people on a military vessel that had been supporting the base between late November and early December, CNN reported.
