Ministry of Health spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari, the total number of deaths from the outbreak had reached at least 30,123.
She said 4,721 patients inflamed with the virus are in condition.
Iran has been fighting coronavirus since the first one was announced in February, with more than 526,000 shown to date.
In recent weeks, Iran has noticed the daily rise in the death toll to its highest record, rising concerns even as government officials continue to be generally blocked by concerns about ruining the economy, which has been severely affected by U. S. sanctions.
On Wednesday, Iranian officials announced a ban on and from five major cities, adding the capital of Tehran and the holy city of Mashhad, which they said aimed to contain the spread of the virus.
The coronavirus has also spread to some of the degrees of the Iranian government, which comes with many older men. Newly inflamed people come with the head of the country’s atomic energy organization, while Iran’s vice president at the budgeting rate and plans tested positive Sunday. .
After downplaying the epidemic in its early weeks, Iranian officials have recently begun to recognize the scale of the epidemic in the country.
Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi, who tested positive for the virus in March after minimizing its risk and rebutting reports of mass deaths, told state television Wednesday that the actual death toll in the country is about double that reported.
According to officials, there are also a large number of patients in hospitals treated as instances of COVID-19 who have not yet been evaluated, whose tests have been false negative or whose symptoms are not the same as those indexed through the World Health Organization and which are not counted in the official number of instances.
As in many other countries, iran’s developing epidemic reflects the government’s contradictory reaction to the virus. This week, when the number of dead recorded reached the record 3 times, the government announced stricter restrictions for the capital Tehran, the hardest hit.
Newly reopened universities and schools, as well as libraries, mosques, cinemas, museums and beauty salons, have been closed. Last week, the government demanded that all residents of Tehran wear masks outdoors and in public places, a precaution that offenders promised that those who tested positive would be rigorously monitored.
Movement restrictions this spring have slowed down the spread of the disease a little bit. The government then temporarily reopened the country, desperate to revive its economy in crisis. Since June, the number of cases has increased and reached new highs in recent weeks.
Long before the virus hit, Iran’s economy was in trouble, hit by U. S. sanctions after the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew from Tehran’s nuclear deal with global powers in 2018. , following the US administration’s resolution last week to blacklist Iranian banks that had so far evaded the maximum sanctions imposed by the United States.
As Iran approaches winter, the seasonal flu may be an additional and serious challenge for the country, as it purchased the flu vaccine as a component of the new US sanctions against Iranian banks.
The Iran Red Crescent Society said on a tweet Tuesday that it is guilty of loading two million doses of the influenza vaccine in the country, but that new U. S. sanctions prevented imports.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, the United Arab Emirates announced its general on a day of new coronavirus cases amid a peak in the Gulf country that is home to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The country’s Ministry of Health said the evidence had discovered 1,538 new viruses, bringing the total number to 114,387.
The ministry said four other people had died from the virus, bringing the total death toll to 459. The total recovery is 106,354 more people.
Recorded infections have soared in recent weeks, as the government loosened restrictions and resumed face-to-face education. Dubai has reopened its airport for foreign travellers and embarked on an active promotional crusade as a tourist destination in the middle of the pandemic. .
The UAE is participating in a competitive campaign, with more than 11 million tests conducted in a country with more than nine million people.
