Abstract

New Caledonia is a French associated territory in the South Pacific Ocean. While COVID-19 is expanding over the world, we seem to be well preserved with a total of 18 documented cases. We report the measures implemented on our island that probably helped containing an epidemic spread.

Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, containment, quarantine, epidemic, New Caledonia
