Syria was not spared the severe covid-19 pandemic in 2020, with the first case of the novel coronavirus from abroad recorded on 22 March, with the first death occurring on the 29th of the same month. As of November 19, 2021, 46,838 people have been infected with the new crown virus, of which 28,058 have recovered and 2,689 have died.
Under the adverse conditions of the epidemic, sanctions and occasional conflicts, the reconstruction of Syria has continued. Syria and neighbouring Iraq discussed the desire of the two sides to develop bilateral relations in the field of industry and investment, with the hope of promoting economic cooperation and carrying out integrated industrial cooperation projects.
Reconstruction work continues in Aleppo, the largest city in northern Syria, with master workers operating construction machinery to clear the pavement and remove garbage and debris. The street is clean, with portraits and flags of Assad hanging up, modern facilities and high-rise buildings that reflect the modern cityscape. At night, Aleppo is bright and bright, and there are many people shopping, enjoying life happily.
