The Islamic republic has been battling the Middle East’s deadliest outbreak of Covid-19 since late February. Health ministry spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari said that 2,685 more people had tested positive for Covid-19 in the past 24 hours, the country’s highest single-day count since July 8.Another 208 people also died during the same period, bringing the overall toll to 17,190.“Sadly, since late June, daily infections have been on a rising trajectory in Qom in central Iran,” she said.
Lari warned against travel to Mazandaran, a popular northern tourist resort at the vanguard of the outbreak where daily infections had more than quadrupled in the past six weeks.As a result, mask-wearing was made compulsory in covered areas and provinces were given powers to reimpose restrictive measures.
