Coronavirus is a new pandemic disease that has emerged in Wuhan, China, and then spreads around the world. The cases number of the COVID-19, which have been daily reported in Iraq, has risen slowly. However, no confirmed study has been undertaken to evaluate the situation of the COVID-19 in concerning the confirmed cases, death cases, and recovered.
The current study is undertaken to describe and assess the COVID-19 of the present situation in Iraq out of the range of the confirmed, deaths and recovered cases from the date 21 February to 30 April 2020 in Iraq.
The study findings have revealed that there is a gradual increase of COVID-19 cases onwards until the top peak in 7th Apr. in which the cases reach 684, then decrease regularly. The total infected people of the study scope is 2085 persons according to the Ministry of Health in Iraq, while the World Health Organization (WHO) states 2003 person. The spatial distribution quantile map showed the hot spots in the province of Babylon, Maysan, and Diyala. However, less was found in three provinces (Nineveh, Salahaddin, and Al Anbar). The result shows that 39% recovered and 3% death cases out of total infected people.
COVID-19 in Iraq comes to be limited via the procedures of Iraqi government. However, the infected people will be increased gradually and many international reports that predict the end of this pandemic in the world will be doubtful as there are many vaccines developed and under development which led to reduce to effect of this pandemic.
冠状病毒是一种新型的大流行病，在中国武汉出现，然后在世界各地传播。伊拉克每天报告的 COVID-19 病例数量缓慢上升。然而，尚未进行任何经证实的研究来评估 COVID-19 在确诊病例、死亡病例和康复方面的情况。
本研究旨在描述和评估 COVID-19 在伊拉克的现状，范围包括 2020 年 2 月 21 日至 4 月 30 日期间伊拉克确诊、死亡和康复病例的情况。
研究结果表明，COVID-19 病例呈逐渐上升趋势，直到 4 月 7 日达到顶峰，病例数达到 684 例，然后定期减少。根据伊拉克卫生部的数据，研究范围内总感染人数为 2085 人，而世界卫生组织（WHO）表示为 2003 人。空间分布分位数地图显示，巴比伦、迈桑和迪亚拉省是热点地区。然而，尼尼微、萨拉赫丁和安巴尔三省的感染人数较少。结果显示，39%的感染者已康复，3%的感染者死亡。
伊拉克政府采取的措施限制了 COVID-19 的传播。然而，感染人数将逐渐增加，许多国际报告预测世界范围内这种大流行将结束的说法将值得怀疑，因为有许多疫苗正在开发和研制中，这将降低这种大流行的影响。
