Still possible to control coronavirus outbreak in Iran, says WHO
The World Health Organization says that if measures were implemented "at the scale required" there would be a "good opportunity" to contain the coronavirus in Iran.
"I think that the priorities are appropriate. And I think if implemented at the scale required, [they] will have a very good opportunity to get on top of the disease," Emergency Director for WHO's Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, Richard Brennan, told journalists in Tehran.
Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur said on Thursday that 107 people have died and 3513 have been infected with the coronavirus in Iran.
The country, which has one of the highest number of fatalities outside China, will keep academic institutions shut until the end of the Iranian calendar year on March 20.
