Coronavirus Has Taken 220,800 Lives in Iran Over 220,800 people have died of the novel coronavirus in Iran, according to reports tallied by the People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Tuesday. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 59,736 around a third of the actual figure. \u201cIf previous viruses took ten to 12 days to cause dilemmas, the mutated virus take only 48 hours to do so. This is exactly what happened in Khuzestan province. People from different age groups are all prone to this virus. Unfortunately, yesterday there were reports of two children aged 1 and nine dying in Khuzestan province,\u201d said Health Minister Saied Namaki on Tuesday. \u201cThis morning a 21-year-old woman that had no underlying illness died in a Tehran hospital within 48 hours. If youths will need ICUs as elders do, this will make things extremely difficult for us,\u201d he added, according to state TV.
