WHO: ‘Breach’ of health regulations, trade with Iran behind new COVID-19 spike in Iraq, Kurdistan - Kurdistan 24
The World Health Organization (WHO) representative to Iraq, Dr. Adham Ismail, has stated that the public’s failure to follow anti-coronavirus health regulations and the nation’s hasty resumption of trade with neighboring Iran have contributed to the recent dramatic spike in the number of new daily cases and deaths across the Middle Eastern nation.
The comments came during a live interview with Kurdistan 24 on Wednesday, as the Kurdistan Region’s total reported coronavirus infections topped 1,600 and Iraq’s national tally reaching nearly ten times that at just over 15,000.
