Iran Says Coronavirus Deaths Close To 7,000
Iran said Friday it had recorded nearly 7,000 deaths from the novel coronavirus, warning of infection clusters in new regions after it partially eased lockdown measures.
Jahanpour warned that cases were rising “in the province of Lorestan, and to some extent in Kermanshah, Sistan and Baluchistan”.The southwestern province has become Iran’s new coronavirus focal point, with the most critical “red” ranking on the country’s colour-coded risk scale. Early in the outbreak “our focus was on severe cases that had to be hospitalised, but as we started to manage the disease we looked at those infected and not hospitalised,” said Ali Akbar Haghdoost, head of the taskforce’s epidemiology committee.
Over 1,460 of the new cases were “outpatients, including those who had been in close contact with the infected,” he said.Experts both at home and abroad have voiced scepticism about Iran’s official figures, saying the real toll could be much higher.
