In the autonomous regions of North and East Syria, 45 new infections with the coronavirus have been reported in the past 24 hours. Seven cases each were added in Hesekê and Girkê Legê, six in Dêrik, two in Rimêlan, three in Shehba, nine in Qamishlo and eleven more in Dirbêsiyê, according to the Health Committee of the Autonomous Administration. Since Monday no other person has died in connection with the pandemic.

This brings the number of registered cases in northern and eastern Syria to 783 and the number of fatalities to 42. According to estimates, 238 of those infected in the autonomous region have recovered so far. Due to the lack of tests, this number can only be considered as an indication of a much larger number of infections.
