admitted to the hospital showed symptoms of a \u201ccommon cold\u201d, however, they have recently become more severe, saying &#8220;The mortality rate is not 1 in a 1.000 among the people of Raqqa.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of cases admitted to the hospital is decreasing as parents are more aware of recognizing the symptoms at once, according
