INA - Baghdad
Ministry of Health and Environment - MOH confirmed the readiness of all its health departments in Baghdad and the governorates to face the increase in Coronavirus cases.

"The Ministry of Health is able to deal with this increase in injuries, which is expected as a result of non-compliance. Malls, restaurants, and others are violating the decisions of the Supreme Health and Safety Committee and the decisions of the Council of Ministers through closure and fines according to the Public Health Law,” said MOH spokesman Saif Al-Badr to Iraqi News Agency (INA). 

Al-Badr explained that it is possible to contain the spread of cases by applying the same procedures that have been used for months, which are wearing the mask, achieving social distancing and washing hands frequently.

“if a high percentage of citizens adhere to these, there will be a containment of cases,”

The Ministry of Health confirmed the readiness of all its departments in Baghdad and the provinces to deal with this increase, and “we call for the implementation of measures and accountability for violators,” he added.
