Iran coronavirus outbreak: How the regime went from secrecy to red alert<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Reporting by PMOI\/MEK<\/p>\n

The coronavirus outbreak in Iran, and the spread of the virus to all four corners of the country, is the direct result of systematic secrecy by the Iranian regime, which has transformed the situation to a pervasive crisis.<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s secrecy about the outbreak of this virus had other consequences as well, including the late action to quarantine cities and declare them as red spots.<\/p>\n

Iran coronavirus epidemic: More areas becoming COVID-19 hotbeds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Disturbing reports of coronavirus expanding to vast areas across the country indicate a major COVID-19 epidemic in Iran.<\/p>\n

A citizen report from Gilan Province, northern Iran:<\/strong><\/p>\n

9 pm local time \u2013 March 11<\/p>\n

\u201cA TV crew of Gilan Province came to the municipality square of Rasht and they\u2019ve brought a number of municipality workers for interviews. The workers were told to say we are here every night to sanitize various areas. However, this is far from the truth. Our house is in Rashtian Avenue of downtown Rasht. In the past three weeks they have only come twice to disinfect our areas. And they don\u2019t provide the true number of COVID-19 deaths and cases. They\u2019re just airing lies in state TV and radio that they\u2019re sanitizing city streets and neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n
