Is There Covid-19 on the Island? (Important Update)

We explain the COVID-19 situation on Socotra Island after arriving on the last international flight before travel restrictions took effect. We discuss the island’s isolation, limited travel connections, and information from local health authorities indicating that there was no virus on the island at the time. We visit a local restaurant and show that people were moving freely without curfews, quarantine, or social-distancing requirements, while remaining prepared to isolate if circumstances changed.
