As the coronavirus has continued to spread across the world, nations and officials have been releasing updates and statements on what to do during the pandemic. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has also released a statement on what they believe should be done. Currently members who are hiding out in a country or area where people have tested positive for COVID-19 should stay where they are and not travel. Even terror-related missions were to be suspended in certain locations based on the severity of the virus. A quote from the letter sent out teaching how to avoid contamination states, “flee from the one afflicted with leprosy as you flee from the lion.”
