Damascus Exempts Iraqis Who Come For a "Religious Visit" From the Coronavirus Swab - The Syrian Observer
Tourism agencies in the Damascus countryside dropped the requirement to perform a medical examination in Syria for Iraqis coming to Syria, specifically for "religious visits."
The government said it would be sufficient if religious tourists have a document confirming they have had their swab in Iraq.
Agencies are encouraging more religious tourists to come to the southern countryside of Damascus, offering discounts for their trips.
These cuts contributed to the increase in the number of Iraqis coming to Syria during the last week, as they benefited from the reductions, by obtaining a regular medical examination from their country.
