On Saturday, the Iraqi authorities announced a total curfew that will imposed for eight days, starting Friday May 22 till Sunday May 30, including the Islamic Eid Al-Fitr holiday.
They added that the curfew comes as part of the stat's plan to curb the spread of coronavirus.
Iraq on Saturday reported 67 new coronavirus cases.
“The total number of confirmed cases in Iraq reached 3260 after recording 67 new infections in Baghdad, Basrah, Kirkuk, and Dhi Qar Governorates,” the ministry said in a statement.
“Baghdad has recorded four new deaths, bringing the death toll across the country to 121,” it explained.
“37 new cases have recovered so far, raising the total number of recovered cases to 2126,” the ministry concluded.
Several world countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.
It is worth mentioning that, more cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease COVID-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.
People across the globe partake in self-isolation for 14 days as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.
Transmission of virus between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.
It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. LINK

Jeff what Kuwait and China syndrome means is that shortly before both Kuwait and China came out changing their rates...they publicly released information saying they have no intentions of changing our rate. A few days later they actually changed the rate...Yesterday they [Iraq] put out an article saying yeah we're actually going to reduce our exchange rate and print and release new currency while reducing the exchange rate. That has BS written all over it...they're trying to mislead you...last year they said they want to release coins and increase our exchange rate. They are doing what they can to confuse and mislead you...
Footforward [what odds would you give that the dong goes before the dinar? (percentage wise)] 50/50...China will be a big factor in that...But that's all my opinion...It's my opinion that could happen either way. But it seems that something has shifted with Vietnam...
Andy Schectman: The Fed Is Forcing Customers Into Gold
Arcadia Economics: May 16, 2020
This week #FederalReserve chairman #JeromePowell said that he's concerned about the #economic outlook, and that he’s considering aggressive action. Which is stunning, because the Fed already announced unlimited #quantitativeeasing.
And when that's the case, how do you step it up from there? As a result, investors are piling into physical gold and #silver. And given that the #Fed has offered no indication of slowing down anytime soon, or ever, the conditions are certainly in place to see the #preciousmetals rally continue. Fortunately Andy Schechtman of #MilesFranklin joined me on the show to explain what he's seeing with his customer order flow.
So to find out what's actually going on in the physical silver and gold markets, click to watch the interview now!
