simply isn't reporting the cases and deaths there. For one thing, if you look at this: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

they apparently haven't done any new testing in months. And in the beginning there were stories of morgues and cemeteries being overwhelmed, which doesn't jibe with only 4638 people dying altogether. So while they can enforce things like isolation in a way that most countries can't, I'm willing to bet their cases and deaths are many magnitudes greater than they admit.
