BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Brunei Darussalam continues to report no new Covid-19 (coronavirus) cases, with the national tally remaining at 141. Only one active Covid-19 patient remains at the National Isolation Centre (NIC) as of Monday (June 1).

The country's success in the fight against pandemic is also due to the fact that Brunei has performed better in political and security, socio-economic resilience, infrastructure and public health vulnerabilities in the 2019 Global Health Security Index (GHS) study developed by The Economist Intelligence Unit and John Hopkins University which ranks countries based on their preparedness to face a pandemic.
