BREAKING: Syrian President Bashar Assad and his wife have tested positive for coronavirus. Assad's office says both are experiencing only mild symptoms and will isolate at home for several weeks.

FILE - This file photo released July. 19, 2020 on the official Facebook page of Syrian Presidency, shows Syrian President Bashar Assad, left, and his wife Asma voting at a polling station in the parliamentary elections, in Damascus, Syria. The office of Syrian President Bashar Assad said Monday, March 8, 2021 that Assad and his wife have tested positive for the coronavirus and are both doing well.

In a statement, Assad’s office said the first couple did PCR tests after they experienced minor symptoms consistent with the COVID-19 illness. It said Assad, 55, and his wife Asma, who is 10 years younger and announced her recovery from breast cancer in 2019, will continue to work from home where they will isolate between two to three weeks.Syria, which marks 10 years of war next week, has recorded nearly 16,000 virus cases in government-held parts of the country, including 1,063 deaths.

The announcement came days after international and Israeli media reports revealed that Israel paid Russia $1.2 million to provide the Syrian government with coronavirus vaccines. It was reportedly part of a deal that secured the release of an Israeli woman held in Damascus. The terms of the clandestine trade-off negotiated by Moscow remained murky. Damascus denied it happened and Russia had no comment.

The sooner he’s gone, the better tbh assad coronavirus syria

prayers for corona virus 😑

Karma, do your thing.

A shame it wasn't severe symptoms.

JonLemire Give them Sputnik

Off them

He’s got more to worry about than covid now that we have leadership in Washington who will hold him accountable for his actions

Another time where saying nothing is my best option

Don’t care about the criminal family

JonLemire When will he suffer WarCrimes for slaughtering and poisoning innocent Syrian people?

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy 😊

Good

Take two rockets orally, you’ll be fine....

JonLemire He's among the scourge of humanity.

IF there is such a thing as good COVID news, this is it!

Do your worst COVID19 on WMD using dictator Bashar Assad. Syria MiddleEast COVID

Smoking that dictator pack soon. Have his kids got it as well?

This dictator better not get a ventilator if one is needed

Coronavirus got Assad.

Now there is someone who should inject disinfectant. His use of chemical weapons on innocent requires justice in any way possible. Including death by COVID.

JonLemire 'Syria began a vaccination campaign last week, but no details have been given about the process. The health minister said the government procured the vaccines from a friendly country, which he declined to name.'

so like 100 percent sure without an ounce of doubt we’ll know exactly precisely the location of his coordinates for the next couple of weeks... hmmm?

Do they not have masks in Duh-mask-us?

HarunMaruf May they please isolate forever. 🙏

Who gives a fucking shit 🤷🏻

I wish all of the luck, and send thoughts and prayers to the novel coronavirus.

Dang; I thought he was a supervillain 🦹‍♀️. Wasn’t he the guy gassing his own people

I guess Bassar is little compliant to USA's pressure (acknowledgement of fake Covid)

Do we have an address?

Someone do a basher must go edit

The world was about to get EXCITED of news of Assad dying in a U.S. missile attack. 🇺🇲

What was in the bomb the Biden demoprats dropped?

He is a truly evil man.
