A non-serious commitment closer to contempt for Corona in welcoming Eid Al-Adha in northeastern Syria

The people of northeastern Syria celebrated the first days of Eid Al-Adha, despite the announcement of a high number of infections with the Coronavirus, a few days before Eid came, by the administration of northeastern Syria.

Despite the suspension of Eid prayer as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the epidemic, all cities in the region witnessed crowds in cemeteries during the first hours of the day of Eid, in addition to the spread of children in urban neighborhoods to greet the people.

Fatima Habash, a resident of Kobani, told Aso news network that she no longer feels the joy of the holiday after many years of war in addition to the constant threats targeting the security of the region.

While “Samer Ali” of the people of Tabqa city expressed his dissatisfaction as a result of the lack of commitment by the people to any preventive measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic, as the city’s neighborhoods witnessed an unprecedented crowding without the people feeling the risks of the spread of the epidemic

Khalisa Haj Ali from Qamishlo / Al Qamishli did not agree with Samer, as she explained that the epidemic does not concern her and that imposing the ban as a precautionary measure causes gatherings, where she is forced to go to obtain bread or household necessities.

We were unable to obtain a permit from the Ministry of Interior regarding the violations that occurred during the first days of Eid al-Adha from the gatherings of residents in cemeteries and within the neighborhoods of cities, and whether they would take strict security measures to reduce them.

The Health Authority in north-eastern Syria has announced the increase in the number of infections with the Coronavirus, to become the final number of 25 cases, with several precautionary clauses to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
