“Our plea is that everyone take this virus seriously and in no way attempt to travel to any province.”
Iran said on Monday that the novel coronavirus had killed 129 more people, a new record high for a single day in one of the world’s worst-hit countries.
The latest deaths bring the overall toll to 853 fatalities since February 19, when the government announced Iran’s first two deaths from the COVID-19 disease. Tehran province had the highest number of new infections with 200 cases, about 50 fewer than the day before. Khorasan Razavi province, home to the holy Shiite city of Mashhad, was not among the reported provinces with fresh cases. It had recorded 143 the day before.
