As we see, over 5,000 casualties worldwide has been reported from the coronavirus pandemic and countries have been acknowledging the novel Covid-19 as a global public health emergency. Amid the tensions, it is appalling to learn that even ISIS has commenced to advice its terrorists asking to stay safe from infected countries. In an effort to protect its operatives, the terror outfit Islamic State published a coronavirus advisory in its al-Naba’ newsletter asking to have faith in God to protect from all human diseases.
And at the same time, gave practical advice like to wear a mask, practice self-quarantine and flee from sick persons like one would flee a lion affiliated with the outfit. It also asked its people to “not enter the land of the epidemic and the afflicted should not exit from it”. Meaning – they want its followers to not travel European countries for jihad. A few other points include the basic advisories like cover their mouths when they sneeze and to cover food and water containers with lids. This is the least one would want to see as even ISIS is teaching social distance and self-quarantine to prevent the spread of the virus.
According to the World Health Organisation, Europe is now the epicentre of the worldwide pandemic. Italy, France and Spain have currently banned all public gatherings as well. Italy is now the second-highest affected after China with 2,547 new novel coronavirus cases and 252 deaths on Saturday. It is the highest number of deaths reported in a single day since the outbreak began with total confirmed cases of 21,157. On Saturday, Spain also recorded the number of coronavirus cases as 5,753.
