  • 25 – 31 March, 2020
    WEEKLY REPORT ​ ​ ​ 25 – 31 March, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Northeast Syria ● The Kurdish self-administration (KSA) announced additional mitigation measures for the spread of COVID-19 and implemented previously reported measures through its security apparatus across its territories, including IDP camps. The KSA and Government of Syria (GoS) also began preparing quarantine centers across Hospitals of Al-Hasakeh city. ● Screenings for symptoms of COVID-19 are not being comprehensively implemented at informal river crossings in KSA-held Deir-ez-Zor governorate as civilians are passing without being screened. Meanwhile, the Abu Kamal border crossing continued to allow Iranian militias to pass without screening them for symptoms of COVID-19. ● Islamic State (ISIS) prisoners attempted to escape from a covert prison in Al-Hasakeh city in Al-Hasakeh governorate and from Kisreh Prison in Kisreh town in Deir-ez-Zor governorate. Northwest Syria ● Despite the SSG’s denial of the presence of COVID-19 in the northwest, the SSG has increased its mitigation measures. It is highly likely that the spread of COVID-19 in Idleb and western Aleppo governorates would lead to a new humanitarian crisis, particularly due to the estimated 1.1 million IDPs residing in overcrowded camps, and the northwest’s crippled healthcare system which is currently ill-equipped to deal with such a crises. ● Local sources in Azaz city maintain that the public have not taken the measures seriously and the majority continue to gather in public spaces. ● The SIG’s Support Coordination Unit received 600 COVID-19 examination kits from the WHO. This is reportedly the first batch from a total of 2,000 kits promised.
