Iraqi authorities are taking strict measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
BAGHDAD — As coronavirus spreads across the globe, the number of infected people in Iraq is still manageable.
Though the country has taken strict measures to reduce infections, Iraqi officials are worried that the situation could deteriorate, and announced that other tight measures to prevent the virus' spread will be taken soon.
“We are still the best country in the world in terms of preventive measures against the coronavirus,” Iraqi Minister of Health Jaafar Allawi said.
He still expressed concern that “in the event of the high spread of the disease, as in other countries, we do not have the means to face it.”
