sports journalist David Ishaq said in an interview with our correspondent in Dohuk Iraq Mr Nassem Sadiq, that he had contracted the virus in Baghdad, which he considered to be highly contagious and frightening, and that all people would be infected.


Mr. Ishaq added that I was taking all health measures according to instructions, however I was infected. Friends helped me to be transferred to Dohuk, thanks to the former player in the Iraqi team, Imad Muhammad, who made calls and facilitated my transportation to Dohuk by an ambulance.

Regarding the symptoms of his contract with COVID-19 said that I felt a strange taste in my mouth, I lost the sense of smell, my temperature rose so much, I felt pain in my bones and headache, and I could not sleep.

When I went to hospital, they said you had typhoid and blurred an injection. This reduced my immunity, but in Duhok they conducted all the necessary tests and put me in intensive care until all the symptoms have gone, and now I am in good condition, I have only a little cough.

Mr Ishaq stressed that for the sake of his children and family, whom he had not seen in seven months, he had overcome the virus and was anxious to meet them.
