The Syrian Salvation Government affiliated with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which controls Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib, announced on Sept. 21 the temporary closure of all schools, popular markets and public places in its areas of control amid increasing cases of the coronavirus.
In a circular published by the prime minister’s office, the government said that the closure decision includes bazaars, motorcycle markets, bird and livestock markets, swimming pools, playgrounds, wedding halls and amusement parks.
