Antarctica has reported its first cases of Covid

The Covid-19 pandemic has finally reached Antarctica.

It was previously the only continent to remain unscathed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Antarctica reported its first 36 cases on a Chilean base, according to local newspaper El Mercurio.

The cases include 26 Army personnel and 10 civilian contractors.

They have all since been evacuated to Chile and are said to be in good condition.
