"According to the latest data, almost every hour, 50 people in Iran become infected with CoVid-19 and every ten minutes, and someone dies as a result of the consequences of getting the virus."
Casualties from the coronavirus disease have gone up to 1,284 of which, 149 occurred just in the past 24 hours. With 18,407 people in Iran now infected with the virus, the medical staff available struggles to cope."
The US economic sanctions against Tehran, including an embargo on dealings, makes the fight against the deadly virus particularly challenging for the country. Despite international pleads to remove the sanctions, Washington remains unconvinced.
The pandemic has hit the country severely, with the upcoming celebrations of Nowruz - the Iranian New Year- to be canceled. In an effort to contain the virus, the government advises that citizens remain indoors.
