Syria's health ministry said on Sunday that a woman who died after being rushed to hospital for emergency treatment was found to have been infected by coronavirus in the country's first officially reported death from the disease.

AMMAN - Syria’s health ministry said on Sunday that a woman who died after being rushed to hospital for emergency treatment was found to have been infected by coronavirus in the country’s first officially reported death from the disease.

The moves to shut businesses, schools, universities, mosques and most government offices, as well as stop public transport, have spread fear among war-weary residents. The World Health Organization has warned that the country has a limited capacity to deal with a rapid spread of the virus. Opposition figures and independent politicians point to Damascus’ strong ties with Iran, the worst affected country in the region, as a source of possible contagion.

Senior Syrian army officers have in recent days taken leave of absence and been ordered not to mingle with the Iranian-backed militias, military defectors say.

Syria announced very late a coronavirus case.And I forgot the subject. One case,one death? I checked and found 9 persons.Syrian travelers to Iraq and Pakistan are reported from weeks as positives,and sincerely,as a 39-th Iran's state,the number of positives should be higher.

But they gassed 100k if their citizens. Let me know when Assad gets Coronavirus and drops

Assad tried to maintain order with violence in a country that was fed up with oppression. Now facing Russian control, they want to scrape up some profits due to their massive bet on gold going bust. Syria will take care of itself and have a genuine election.

Right...first death from virus. Countless from ignorance & dictatorship & the world exploiting & abusing the people of Syria.
