Sulaimani police arrested a 63-year-old man for evading quarantine upon his return from Iran, officials announced on Sunday.
Police officers in the Chwar Chra neighbourhood made the arrest after they were informed the man had not visited a hospital to undergo testing following his return from Iran on February 17.
Police took him to the city's Al Naji hospital to be placed in quarantine, according to a statement from Sulaimani's police department.
They also urged people to contact the police if they know of recent returnees from Iran who have not undergone medical testing.
Sulaimani police can be contacted by calling 104.
