Health Ministry: Coronavirus infections in Syria witnessing an incline marking the start of a new wave

Health

Director of the Health Ministry’s Preparedness and Emergency Department, Dr. Tawfiq Hasaba has stated that the officially registered cases of the Coronavirus in Syria are witnessing an incline which means that a new wave of the virus has started.

According to Dr. Hasaba, the increase in the Coronavirus infections started in mid November when the number of daily registered infections was an average of 30 with 3 deaths. However, in recent days, the daily figure climbed to 150 infections and 15 deaths. This indicates a five-fold increase in the rate of the officially announced infections and deaths since the middle of last month, he said.

He pointed out that the number of infections announced by the Ministry shows the cases that tested positive as a result of the (PCR) test, stressing that the number of patients and suspected cases receiving treatment in clinics, homes and hospitals is far more than the announced figure.

 Dr. Hasaba made it clear that currently there are more than 1,200 patients with symptoms of Coronavirs pandemic receiving treatment in various hospitals and isolation centers in the Syrian provinces and they are being dealt with as Corona patients, until the results of the PCR test prove the opposite.
