20. In the month after, the number of cases reported there remained low. 2. The country has reported about 10,600 coronavirus cases and 229 deaths so far — among the lowest of any country. 3. A superspreader event in mid-February caused its case total to spike — for nine days the country's epidemic curve looked like a steep staircase as infections climbed. 4.

GPS phone tracking, credit-card records, and video
surveillance to trace an infected person's travel history.
