Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[2][3]
Unlike the SARS outbreak of 2003, the case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower,[4][5] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[6][4]
Timeline
February 2020
- On 10 February, entry for non-nationals who had visited China within the past 4 weeks was restricted. Those who had visited Hubei were banned, while those who had visited other areas of China could enter with a valid medical certificate.[7]
- On 21 February, students who had been studying in Wuhan arrived in East Timor following a period of quarantine in New Zealand.[8]
March 2020
- On 19 March, East Timor closed its borders with Indonesia as a preventative measure.[9]
- On 21 March, East Timor confirmed its first imported COVID-19 case.[10] The place where it started is unknown.
- Following this, schools were suspended on 22 March, and the Catholic Church cancelled mass. A state of emergency was declared, and public gatherings were limited to 5 people, while all international arrivals faced a mandatory 14 days of quarantine.[11]
April 2020
- On 6 April, Parliament approved urgent measures to deal with the pandemic.[12]
- On 9 April, a second case was confirmed: a person who entered the country across the land border with Indonesia. The first case, which was confirmed on March 21, has now recovered.[13]
May 2020
- On 15 May, East Timor confirmed the recovery of its last confirmed case. Till 31-May, the country did not receive any new confirmed case.
