Pacific island countries like Tuvalu are among the very last places that have remained Covid-free throughout the pandemic
Petaia Nome is one of the few people in the remote Pacific island of Tuvalu who has to wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
While face masks, visors and gowns have become a common sight in most countries in the years of the pandemic, in Tuvalu – one of the very few countries to have never had a Covid case – they are rare, worn primarily by airport workers, like Nome, whose job is to offload cargo.
