Nelson Avila lives in a rare place in the world where there are no reported cases of the new coronavirus or COVID-19. When people enter his store, Avila asks them to wear a mask and wash their hands. He sprays alcohol over the money they give him before putting it away. Avila’s shop is in Campohermoso. The town has 3,000 people in Boyaca state in the mountains of central Colombia. Colombia’s Health Ministry says Campohermoso County is just one of two counties that do not have COVID-19. Colombia has more than 1,100 counties. “These bills can carry the virus” said Avila, as he cleans his money. “They go from hand to hand, so we have to be careful.” Officials and locals say the town has been able to keep the virus away thanks to the behavior of the people who live there. There also are many campaigns urging people to social distance and wear masks.
