schema:articleBody	A first case of coronavirus was recorded in northwest Syria Thursday, an opposition official said, reviving fears of disaster if the pandemic reached the rebel bastion's displacement camps. "We regret today to announce the first case of coronavirus in a health worker at one of the hospitals" in the northwestern province of Idlib, said opposition health official Maram al-Sheikh. The head of WHO's office in Turkey's Gaziantep, Mahmoud Daher, said the patient was a male Syrian doctor in his 30s who had been working in a hospital in the town of Bab al-Hawa on the Syrian-Turkish border. "He suspected that he might have contracted COVID-19," and a test came back positive on Thursday, he said. "There have been no cases so far in northwest Syria until this morning," Daher said, confirming it was the first case. Sheikh said: "The hospital has been closed, as have its living quarters." Those who had been in contact with the patient had been swabbed and isolated, and an emergency meeting convened, he said in a statement on Twitter. Aid groups have been preparing for months to prevent an outbreak in northwest Syria, where a fragile truce has stemmed a Russia-backed regime offensive against the Idlib region. The jihadist-dominated region is home to some three million people, many living in close quarters in displacement camps after being forced to flee their homes during Syria's nine-year-old war. Daher said the discovery of a first case was "worrying because of the conditions on the ground". "We need to enhance our work with all authorities and service providers on the ground to make sure that no further transmission of COVID-19 can happen. Otherwise, it might become a real problem." Syria has officially recorded 372 cases of coronavirus, including 14 deaths in government-held areas. In the Kurdish-controlled northeast, the United Nations has recorded six cases including one death. Syria's war has killed more than 380,000 people and displaced millions since it started in 2011 with the repression of anti-government protests. ah/pvh
