According to the Iranian President's Office on the 18th, Iranian President Rouhani said at the National Working Group's meeting of the New Coronary Virus Committee that the Iranian Ministry of Health Research Center report shows that according to relevant data, about 25 million people in Iran are infected with the new coronavirus, of which about 14,000 People die. In the next few months, there will be 30 to 35 million people at risk of infection. Therefore, all people should strictly follow the hygiene tips, wear masks, maintain social distance, and avoid crowd activities. At the same time, the report shows that of every 1,000 infected people, about 500 are asymptomatic infected people, and these people are more likely to pass the virus to others. Rouhani said that the public should actively cooperate with the relevant medical and health departments, but there is no need for anxiety. Fighting the new crown virus is a challenging and time-consuming work, but Iran will eventually win.
