The World Health Organization comments on the small number of people with corona in Syria and warns of the possibility of increasing the number of people infected with corona

The director of the WHO Regional Office for the Middle East, Richard Brennan, said that the number of people infected with corona viruses in Syria is low, but there is a risk of an explosion in the number of infections in the near future.

Brennan said in a press statement today, Friday: “At the moment there are only 248 cases. But we are not sure of that. In other countries in the region, the number of cases initially increased slowly, then rose sharply. We saw this in Iraq, Turkey and Egypt. We fully expect that we will have a similar problem in Syria. ”

He added that it is still possible in to prevent a sharp increase in the number of infections with the Corona virus, by helping the Syrian authorities to conduct tests and track the contacts of the infected people with others.
