Iranian manufacturers have stepped up the production of key products like hand sanitizer needed to stem the spread of the coronavirus in the country.
This came after the government changed rules regarding the supply of denatured alcohol in order to help businesses which produce hand sanitizers and gels. Speaking to Press TV, the director of Iran Darou said his pharmaceutical company is rising to the challenge.
Kianoush Jahanpour, the head of public relations and information center of the Iranian Ministry of Health, said on Saturday that 35,408 individuals have been confirmed to be infected with the disease, 2,517 of whom have lost their lives. As many as 11,679 individuals have also recovered from the virus.
