"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the local healthcare system in Iceland. The healthcare system has had to adapt quickly to the changing needs of the population, and has done so with great success. The government has implemented a range of measures to ensure that the healthcare system is able to cope with the increased demand, including increasing the number of healthcare professionals, expanding the capacity of hospitals, and introducing new technologies to facilitate remote consultations. The healthcare system has also been proactive in providing information and guidance to the public on how to protect themselves and others from the virus. Overall, the healthcare system in Iceland has responded well to the pandemic and has been able to provide the necessary care and support to the population," remarked another expat in Iceland.
