    Minister of Health Hassan Al-Tamimi confirmed that Iraq has achieved good control over the Corona virus, warning those that issue information far from reality, to take legal measures.

    Al-Tamimi told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Iraq has achieved good control over the epidemic, as the recovery rate reaches more than 93%, deaths are about 2%, and injuries are 2%," stressing that "the data issued daily are transparent data. Realistically, the test results show up to 4000 tests per day. "

    He added that "the new strain is characterized by its rapid spread, so if the strain was present, we would have recorded double numbers, from what we were previously recording," noting that "the new strain of the Corona virus needs specialized laboratories."
