First COVID-19 cases reported in Syria's Al-Hol camp

Three health workers in a displaced persons' camp in northeastern Syria have contracted the novel coronavirus, the United Nations said Thursday, the first reported infections in the vast tent city.

It is run by the autonomous Kurdish administration that holds most of the northeast and has reported 54 cases of COVID-19 in areas under its control. "The contact tracing process is ongoing. As a precautionary measure, only critical staff, with personal protective equipment, are allowed to operate inside the camp," David Swanson told AFP.

"We fear that the virus could have spread to camp residents visiting health clinics," he said, asking not to be identified because he is not authorised to speak to the media on the issue.

But, but, but they’re really good at wearing masks!

Oh, cool, the stranded brides and sprogs of IS? They're still alive? Good thing we look after Australians during a global crisis. Owwwww. Soooorrrryyyyy. Whatever.
