With almost 3,000 new infections, Iran has seen the highest increase in coronavirus cases in two months. „People seem to think that the corona virus has disappeared, but we are far from it,“ said Health Minister Said Namaki in a television interview today. The country could experience another “dangerous high” at any time, he warned.
According to a ministry spokesman, the number of infections rose by 2,979 to 154,445. The number of coronavirus deaths increased by 81 to 7,878. The number of new infections in Iran has been rising almost continuously since May 2. At that time, the lowest level had been reported in two months. Some Iranian officials and foreign experts consider official government figures in Tehran to be too low.
