ISIS has issued leaflets to guide the terrorists on how to tackle the deadly coronavirus outbreak which also includes religious directives.

The guideline appeared in the latest issue of the terror group's newspaper Al-Naba, reported The Daily Mail.

The list includes tips of staying away from sick people, washing hands before eating and avoiding travel to affected areas. It also includes decrees such as put your faith in God and seek refuge in him.

"Illnesses do not strike by themselves but by the command and decree of God," they also stated.

While ISIS has lost almost all of its caliphate in the Middle East, it is thought to still hold pockets of territory across Iraq and Syria.

ISIS also holds its territory in West Africa, including in Burkina Faso, which has also reported a small number of coronavirus cases.

The coronavirus, believed to have originated late last year in a seafood market in the central Chinese city has led to deaths of over 5,436 people across the world with the virus infecting over 145,369 people.
