Solution

  • If you are doing error handling you need to detect the error first, try using try{} and catch(){}

    for your code

    try {
   targetCountry = (await covid.parseCountry(UK)).countryid;
}
catch (err) {
    if (err.message === "Failed to get country." || err.message === "Invalid Country Code") { 
        // ...
    }
}
