When the US (Obama & Bush administrations) and Russia intervened in the Syrian revolution utilizing a relentless bombing campaign a massive refugee crisis and ISIS was born. The aftermath of these interventions left many Syrians in refugee camps where they are currently to this day. The density of these camps creates a dire situation for the spread of COVID-19.
