Iraqi Ministry of Health warns of a more severe wave of Coronavirus

The Iraqi Ministry of Health has warned of the danger of a new epidemic wave of the Coronavirus, more severe than previous waves.

The ministry said in a statement: "Experts and specialists in the Ministry of Health are monitoring the ongoing developments in the epidemiological situation in the world and in Iraq, where infections continue to rise rapidly in most countries of the world. In Iraq, the increase in the positive cases has been observed on an ongoing basis, and this portends the beginning of a new wave, perhaps, becomes worse than the previous waves."

The ministry called on all citizens to adhere to wearing masks and to stay away from gatherings, in addition, to receive vaccines in their full doses, which have clearly proven effective through a significant decrease in the number of vaccinated people in the hospital admissions.

The ministry called on all the media and the supporting ministries to emphasize the implementation of the decisions of the Supreme Committee for Health and National Safety to urge all citizens and employees of ministries, government and private institutions to receive the vaccine.
