Direct the Ministry of Health to review the professional controls and standards at private medical laboratories that carry out Coronavirus tests to ensure that they all comply with strict safety measures
Designate Iraqi airports as the sole entry point of non-Iraqi nationals into Iraq, and direct the relevant authorities to ensure that all necessary preventative health measures agreed by the Committee are followed
