Covid and poverty
Antarctica was spared from Covid's grip until December of 2021 when 36 people at the Chilean Bernardo O'Higgins research station were found to have the virus. While that outbreak was contained, there was also concern the Covid virus could infect Antarctica's wildlife population and spread. Antarctica's waters and lands are home to 235 animal species.
