SULAIMANI — Iraq’s Ministry of Health said on Saturday
(January 23) it recorded 4,931 coronavirus infections and four deaths in the
country over the past 24 hours.
Of that total, 1,855 of the newest cases are in Baghdad
governorate, along with 838 in Erbil, 381 in Karbala, 345 in Kirkuk, 221 in Wasit,
219 in Basra, 215 in Diwaniya, 191 in Duhok, 191 in Babil, 108 in Diyala, 98 in
Najaf, 93 in Sulaimani, 92 in Nineveh, 48 in Dhi Qar, 29 in Saladin, five in Maysan,
and two in Anbar.
The ministry reported four patients died from COVID-19, the
disease caused by the coronavirus infection, and 2,000 recovered from it.
Meanwhile, 37,428 people were vaccinated in Iraq and the
Kurdistan Region. According to the ministry, 9,058,068 people have been
vaccinated in Iraq, a country of more than 40 million, since the shipment of
vaccines arrived on February 28.
There have been 2,154,237 officially-recorded cases of
coronavirus across Iraq since the virus first appeared in the country.
At least 2,078,422 patients have recovered from COVID-19 and
a total of 24,287 people have died from it in Iraq. The numbers are almost
certainly an undercount.
