After a month, the death rate from Corona in Iran has reached three digits again; a journalist dies from Corona

The latest official death toll from the coronavirus in Iran has once again reached more than a hundred people per day.

Since January 7, when the death toll from the coronavirus in Iran was reported at 103, the daily death toll from the coronavirus in Iran has been reported to be below 100 for the past fifty days. On Monday, March 1, the Iranian Ministry of Health announced that at least 108 people had died from coronavirus in the past 24 hours.

The total number of deaths in Iran due to Corona has reached 60,180.

Official statistics from China, Russia, and Iran cannot be verified by independent experts and cannot be considered reliable or final. Furthermore, with the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader's order banning the use of American and British coronavirus vaccines, there is no clear prospect for mass vaccination in Iran.

Concerns have increased in Iran over the spread of a more contagious and mutated form of the coronavirus. The National Headquarters for Combating Coronavirus in Iran announced on Sunday, March 1, the identification of more than 100 cases of the mutated coronavirus in various provinces of the country, saying that so far eight cases, including the deaths of three children, have been recorded due to the mutated form of the virus.

This week, Ali Akrami, a journalist in Tehran, died of COVID-19. Some of his relatives have attributed the short time he was infected to a more contagious and dangerous strain of the virus.
