The first case of the COVID-19 pandemic in India was reported on 30 January 2020, originating from China. Slowly, the pandemic spread to various states and union territories including the union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The first case was recorded in this region on 26 March 2020.[1] The islands have pursued a strategy of zero COVID-19 transmission, which, except for three flareups in August 2020, May 2021, and January 2022, which were swiftly contained, have resulted in no community outbreaks. The islands have successfully managed the outbreaks, and the union territory has the lowest case count of any region of India, both in total cases and infection rate.[2]
