Group worship ban on 15 dead from new Iranian virus 20:08 on February 25
In Iran, where there is concern about the spread of the new coronavirus, three new deaths have been confirmed, with 15 deaths to date. The government has taken measures to ban Muslim mass worship in some areas to prevent the spread of the infection.
The Iranian Ministry of Health said on Tuesday that 95 people have been infected with the new coronavirus, 34 more than the previous day, and three of them have died, three more than 15 people.
The number of dead is highest except for China.
This means that some of the dead have been Iranians who have traveled to China for business.
In addition, there are about 900 people suspected of being infected throughout Iran.
In particular, the central Kom province, where virus infections have been reported frequently, is known as a Shiite religious site, but according to state-owned communications, measures have been taken to ban collective worship to prevent the spread of the infection. That was done.
However, information seems to be mixed about the number of infected people and the number of dead.
Iran's Ministry of Health immediately denied a statement from a member of the Kom county on Tuesday stating that "50 people have died from infection in Com."
`` We asked the prosecutor's office to confirm whether the statements of legislators were true and to disclose the results to the public, '' Twitter Secretary-General Shamhani, chief security officer of Iran's key policies, said on Tuesday. Posts may also be confusing in the response of the authorities.
Many sporting events have been canceled in Iran, and soccer professional league games will be held without spectators for the time being.
In addition, schools have been closed in affected areas, including the capital Tehran, and cinemas, an important recreational facility for Iranians, have been closed nationwide.
Turkey and Iraq, Pakistan and other countries have restricted their access at the border with Iran, and neighboring countries, such as Oman and Tajikistan, have also operated flights connecting Iran with Iran. There is a growing movement to stop and stop the spread of infection.
