CoronaVirus paralyzes Iran

The official information from the Iranian government shows a bleak picture. Accordingly, the coronavirus spread in Iran in a very short time. And the death rate of 13 percent is significantly higher than anywhere else in the world. The World Health Organization has therefore sent a team of experts to Iran.

Even the coronavirus officer is sick

According to official information from Wednesday, a total of 19 people died from the coronavirus. The number of infected people rose to 139, said the Ministry of Health in Tehran. The coronavirus officer of the Iraj Harirschi government is also among those infected.

As late as Monday, Harirschi had assured journalists without a mouthguard that everything was under control and quarantine measures were out of the question. On Tuesday, however, he had to admit on state television: “I’ve been a ‘Coronaer’ since last night.” It had been tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 itself. National schools remained closed on Wednesday. The government has asked all citizens to stay at home.
