Even the worst-affected Central and Eastern European nations had substantially lower infection and mortality rates per million people than Western European countries, and the results are absolutely amazing in several cases: Only 1,413 confirmed cases and 25 fatalities have been reported in Slovakia. There have been only two deaths in the entire country of Slovenia. In fact, no one has died in Slovenia since April 12. In contrast, France has had over 200 deaths due to COVID-19. Germany has had at least 90 deaths. Italy has had at least 50 deaths. Spain has had at least 60 deaths. The United Kingdom has had at least 50 deaths.
