The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 42,461 nearly a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cOne of the most time periods in the country\u2019s coronavirus history is the two weeks that start this Saturday. If we let our guard down, we will witness four-digit daily death stats,\u201d said Health Minister Saeid Namaki on Tuesday. \u201cNeglect during this period means defeat, meaning if anyone violates the rules, we must not show mercy. Every individual can be considered a virus bomb because today the virus can spread to ten different people and the illness has become a family issue,\u201d he added, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force. Iran: Freed Political Prisoners, Families of Pmoi Members Rearrested on Eve of November 2019 Uprising The regime\u2019s suppressive forces arrested a large number of freed political prisoners and families of members of the PMOI\/MEK.
