The best COVID-19 response in the world
Mongolia has had the best COVID-19 response in the world. Not only do they have zero deaths, they have zero local transmissions.
Starting in January, Mongolia executed a perfect public health response, and they have never let up the pressure since. COVID-19 did not just leave Mongolia alone. Mongolia kicked its ass.
For this all this hard work, however, they get little credit. Nobody’s talking about the ‘Mongolian example’. Instead, we talk about total failures like Germany or Sweden. Like I’ve said, success is ZERO, and Mongolia is as zero as you can get.
On March 10th, Mongolia recorded its first confirmed case of COVID-19. A French national who had arrived from Moscow on March 2nd. Mongolia was ready. They isolated his entire office and the horse he rode in on (it was a train). They quarantined the entire aimag (district) and shut down all trains, cars, and public transport. Mongolia went into partial lockdown, shutting a range of shops. They decontaminated 9.2 million square meters, across 6,000 locations. They decontaminated some places twice.
One case. They did this for one case. That’s why they have no local transmission. It’s not the population density. That advantage can be shattered by one train ride. They just don’t let transmission happen.
Coronavirus didn’t leave Mongolia alone. They killed it.

Mongolia Finds a Silver Living in the COVID-19 Crisis
Mongolia has yet to be hit hard by the pandemic, but the precautions taken have substantially decreased other incidences of disease.

Meanwhile, COVID-19 preparations had an impact on the flu season, too. H3N2 flu cases dropped 90 percent. During the start of the flu season last year almost 12.7 percent of all hospital visits were due to the flu; this year it was 1.8 percent.
Another unexpected benefit was the drop in gastrointestinal infections among children. Children were staying home and washing their hands properly before eating food. As a result, there have been no cases of gastrointestinal infections registered this year so far.

With the WHO recommending “urgent and aggressive” action by governments, Mongolia was well ahead of the situation. That just might be why there’s only been four confirmed cases in the country as of today.

But even before these cases were detected, and before the WHO declared a pandemic, warning that government systems need to be “urgent and aggressive,” Mongolia did just that. And they did it surprisingly well. And that’s proving to be the best thing any government can do to protect its people right now.
