ISIS tells supporters to steer away from Europe

The Isis terrorist group is steering clear of Europe because of the coronavirus. Having previously urged its supporters to attack European cities, the group is now advising members to “stay away from the land of the epidemic” in case they become infected.

The Times said that the group has issued a new set of “sharia directives” that instruct followers to “cover their mouths when yawning and sneezing” and to wash their hands regularly.

It adds that Isis militants have plenty of experience in covering their faces, though previously they did so to hide their identities when beheading hostages on camera.
