The United States, which has more than 3.6 million confirmed cases, continues to experience massive daily jumps in its first wave of HIV infection.
On Friday evening, for the third consecutive day, it recorded a record number of new infections with the new Corona virus within 24 hours, according to data published by Johns Hopkins University, which is considered a reference in tracking injuries and deaths in the country.
On Friday, Johns Hopkins data showed that the United States - the country most affected by the epidemic - recorded within 24 hours more than 77 thousand new cases of the epidemic, bringing the total number of cases to about 3.6 million. There were also 927 deaths, bringing the total number of people who have been killed by the deadly virus in this country to more than 139,000 people.
Despite the high number of pandemic victims, there is growing disagreement in the United States over the use of masks to slow the spread of the virus, a preventive measure routinely taken by many other countries.
So far, more than thirty states have imposed a muzzle on citizens as a single measure to limit the spread of the virus, but many state governors in addition to President Trump do not believe in the idea of imposing masks.
Not only that, the Governor of Georgia filed a lawsuit against the Mayor of the City of Atlanta for issuing instructions that required residents to place masks in public places.
Millions of infections in Iran
and Iran, President Hassan Rouhani said, "The Ministry of Health estimates that 25 million Iranians have been infected with Corona virus so far, 14,000 of whom have died, while 35 million others face the risk of infection."
Rouhani added - at the meeting of the Corona Virus Control Committee - that the country has witnessed two waves of the virus outbreak, and its spread will likely continue until next March.
The President emphasized that - according to the Ministry of Health reports - 500 people out of every 1,000 infected with the virus do not show symptoms of the disease, and they spread the virus without knowing.
The figures that Rouhani mentioned are based on a new report by the Ministry of Health, which is much higher than the official number of injuries of 269 thousand injuries, and the president did not address in his speech broadcast on this contradiction.
Iran, with a population of over 80 million, is the country hardest hit by the Corona pandemic in the Middle East.
