Iraq has the highest daily death rate and global health warns of a repeat of Italy's scenario

Iraq announced today, Wednesday, that it recorded 34 deaths from the Corona virus, at the highest rate since the virus was discovered in the country last February, while the World Health Organization warned Iraqis not to repeat the Italian scenario in the event of lax confrontation with the virus.

And the Iraqi Ministry of Health said in a statement today that 34 deaths and 1146 new infections were recorded, bringing the number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus to 15,414, including 426 deaths and 6,214 cases of recovery.

The ministry had registered 33 deaths on June 6.

This comes at a time the Medical Association in Iraq revealed today two deaths and 324 cases of corona among doctors in the country since the outbreak of the pandemic.

The syndicate said in a statement that HIV infections and deaths affected 200 doctors and 124 doctors, explaining that "Baghdad is the most registered Iraqi province for injuries and deaths among doctors with 170 cases, followed by Basra in the south of the country with 37 cases, then Karbala in the center of the country with 27 cases."

Simultaneously, the representative of the World Health Organization in Iraq, Adham Ismail, warned against repeating the scenario of the victims 'scenes in Italy, Spain and Iran in Iraq due to the citizens' failure to comply with the procedures of confronting the Corona pandemic.

Ismail called for measures to be taken to avoid the country by this scenario, warning against losing control of the epidemic, and thus the spread of the disease further due to what he described as inaction in implementing the health ban.

And the Iraqi government returned to imposing a comprehensive curfew from late May last and effective until next Sunday, following an increase in injuries in Corona in recent weeks.

Fears prevail in Iraq that the health system will collapse if the number of infections is widespread.

Iraq imposed the curfew for the first time on March 17, before easing its restrictions on April 21, as it was permitted to roam the population during daylight hours except Friday and Saturday, when a comprehensive ban was applied.
