The Russian military in Syria could become infected with the coronavirus COVID-19.

A day ago, it became known that in the Syrian city of Hama, two Syrian troops died from a coronavirus. Details of the infection were not announced, however, a number of sources reported that Russian troops in Syria were in contact with the dead, which does not exclude the likelihood that the Russian military could also catch the dangerous virus.

Data on the deaths of two Syrian troops in one of the hospitals in the city of Hama is not currently confirmed by official Damascus, however, given the information from unofficial sources, the infection occurred through direct contact with Iranian troops located in Syria, after which the same military contacted with Russian troops.

It should be clarified that over the last day in Syria several powerful outbreaks of this disease were detected, however, this fact confirms the information that has appeared only partially, which, nevertheless, creates rather serious risks for the Russian military group on the territory of the ATS.

Whether the control of Russian troops in Syria is carried out in connection with the situation with the spread of coronavirus is unknown.
