Before the start of the 11th parliament, Fatemeh Rahbar and Mohammad Ali Ramezani, elected representatives of Tehran and Astana Ashrafiyeh, died of coronavirus.

In the tenth round of the parliament, several representatives were infected with the coronavirus, and it was announced that the main cause of their infection was Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani, a representative from Qom, who attended the parliament in a "bad mood."
