ALEPPO — The Syrian people fear a sudden spike of the novel coronavirus in the areas controlled by the government of President Bashar al-Assad. With these concerns, the government had already initiated precautionary measures in anticipation of any potential outbreak.
On March 20, the government team dealing with the coronavirus in the areas controlled by the Syrian regime conducted a comprehensive evaluation and review of the precautionary measures that had been taken.
