Zeina Khodr, a Senior correspondent, Aljazeera English Television, has put out on social media that World Health Organization 'will start testing for coronavirus in rebel-held northwest Syria this week; it is "very concerned" about spread of pandemic to a region where health system has been wrecked by war & nearly million live in camps & makeshift housing; surrounding countries have documented cases'.  

Syria is already reeling under conflict and war for years now and many millions have already been displaced.
