While Denmark is severely challenged by COVID-19, Greenland has successfully managed to keep a low infection rate. A big factor in the first wave has been to contain the infection to the capital city of Nuuk, which has a good hospital and good water and sanitation system. However, outside of Nuuk, Greenland is challenged by the fact that 10% of the population has to fetch water for themselves, and a quarter must use honey buckets for sewage. So, if the infection spreads outside Nuuk, it may quickly have severe consequences, not least because healthcare resources outside Nuuk are – at best – limited.
