Abbas Motavallian, an epidemiologist and professor at Iran University of Medical Sciences, told Mehr news agency today, “Iran’s population is one percent of the world’s population, but it accounts for 3.3 percent of COVID-19 mortality. The cold weather and the night of Yalda’s (longest night of the year) festival ahead are worrying. Coronavirus transmission is from a person to another and progressive. This transmission chain must be broken. Coronavirus is not an insoluble problem. If we accept the restrictions for a while, the pandemic will subside.”
