Iran: Coronavirus Fatalities in 325 Cities Exceed 49,800

Iran Coronavirus June 6

· In Dezful, 100 medical staff have contracted Coronavirus, 12 are doctors.

· Member of the NCCT: About 20% of the country’s population is infected with the disease and at least 40% to 70% will be infected.

· Rouhani: It is not the right thing to do when the counter-revolutionaries continually propagate that everything should be locked down; and some of our media outlets that are short of content, repeat their calls from the night before. Saying things like, ‘the second or third peak has started’ will cause chaos. We shouldn’t contribute to frustration and anxiety among the people.”
