The official death count declared by the regime stands at 22,293, around a fifth of the actual figure. Alireza Salimi, deputy chair of the Medical Apparatus Organization, called for a reconsideration in re-opening schools. \u201cThe protocols and instructions issued cannot be implemented in most schools. The incubation period of Covid-19 places children in grave danger as their classmates may have contracted the virus without showing any symptoms. This is not something that we can realize in our schools and\/or control them,\u201d he said on Sunday. \u201cThe reopening of schools is considered an important social development, results in an increase in inner-city commuting and will have widespread impacts,\u201d Salimi added, according to the semi-official ILNA news agency. Death Row Protester Navid Afkari Moved To High Security Ward Death row protester Navid Afkari has been taken to a high-security ward in Adelabad Prison. His two brothers, Vahid and Habib were beaten and then transferred to \u201cGuidance Ward\u201d, where prisoners are kept as punishment and have limited contact with the outside world. The section where Navid Afkari is currently imprisoned is run by security forces and political prisoners are usually transferred there as punishment. Prisoners are not allowed to contact or visit with their families and cannot leave the section. Prisoners do not have easy access to fresh air and might be allowed to leave indoors once every few weeks.
