The first fatality of Coronavirus aka Covid 19 was confirmed yesterday in Syria of a lady with accelerated symptoms.
The lady died as she reached the ER of the hospital, a special test was conducted and returned positive with Covid 19, the Syrian Ministry of Health reported without adding further details on the lady or which hospital.
Four more cases tested positive and were put into quarantine centers, the ministry added in a statement late last night, bringing the total infected to 9 plus the 10th who died.
Syria was spared most of the epidemic's onslaught due to the blockade imposed on the country for the past 9 years. The US and its cronies wanted to punish the Syrian people for not accepting to surrender and having a puppet regime steal their independence, this somehow helped the country skip the pandemic's spreading by traveling.
This development is mentioned in the latest update on Syria: COVID-19: UN Revisits Orwell, Goebbels, for Guidance on Syria Recolonization

a feel bad for "poor country" here in the west we can test have the infrastructure to "try and manage the epidemic. but in countrys like Syria am sure a thousands and thousands are infected now by the virus. and putting the crises on top of the war. not easy. feels bad man.
It was a matter of time only, the borders were not completely closed in the very early days, the virus already slipped in not to mention we have so many haters who would send them deliberately into the country, criminals like Erdogan, Trump, Macron and Boris Johnson.
makes it unlikely that there are only 9 cases in syria. Germany produces corona tests and news say they do 200 000 corona tests a day, and they observed in the beginning 1 death for every 500 or so cases they discovered.
how serious do people take the lockdown in syria? are there many people ignoring it and gathering anyway?
@ahmedsy posted a video a couple of days ago which I reblogged here showing how serious Syrians are taking the lockdown: https://peakd.com/hive-100421/@ahmedsy/tyvjckro
As for the statistics, don't compare a country open from all sides to international travellers and a magnet to hundreds of thousands of refugees and immigrants to a country under blockade, literally, for over 9 years. The number of passengers through Frankfurt airport alone in one month equals the total number of travellers who went through all of Syria's entry points on the borders and through its airports in the past 9 years of blockade, and those include terrorists and refugees.
may lock down, handwashing, vampire coughs/sneezes and isolation help you. ive been in lockdown for over 2 weeks already.
i hope syrians take the lockdown serious enough
