In addition, each province in Iran has established special committees that can issue policies on flexible working hours in various provinces and cities.

The reporter from the National Taiwan Affairs Bureau learned that in the more severe outbreak of Qom City, there were 2 designated hospitals providing more than 600 beds, and 2 spare hospitals could be put into use at any time. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard also cooperates with the Qom City Government to disinfect streets and public places in Qom City twice a week, and at the same time carry out the packaging and packaging of medical packages (including masks, epidemic prevention manuals, etc.). In the capital Tehran, where the number of confirmed cases is growing rapidly, there are 9 designated hospitals, with relatively sufficient hospital beds. The city of Qom is located approximately 130 kilometers south of Tehran. It can be seen that there is a cluster outbreak in the current Iranian epidemic.

Iranian Minister of Health Namaki said Iran has imported medical protective equipment including masks and protective clothing. At the same time, relevant factories are stepping up production 24 hours to ensure that there is sufficient stock for the public to buy.

Except that individual sports events can be held without spectators, most sports events in Iran have been cancelled.

Iranian national schools will continue to suspend classes for three days until next Monday (March 2), and Iranian TV will conduct online classes for students.

Iranian public awareness of epidemic prevention increased

The reporter from the main station also learned that at present there is ample supply of fruits, vegetables and meat in supermarkets and vegetable markets across Iran. Although the supply of masks and disinfectants in pharmacies is tight, this situation will soon improve. The local people of Iran also strictly abide by the epidemic prevention measures, wear masks and gloves to go out, and always remind people around them to strengthen prevention and control.

March 21st is the Nowruz Festival in Iran, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. In the past, in early March, Iranian people would make large-scale purchases, but now people are beginning to avoid gathering in the market.
