Govt #COVID19 guidelines may also not be trusted & religious leaders offer an alternative.

In #IraqiKurdistan @PolSettlements finds public trust varies by institution. Those responsible for direct #Covid19 response are more trusted (e.g. Ministry of health- tho varies by place); parliament in Erbil & Baghdad are less trusted.
