Iran Press/Iran News: Alireza Ra'isi stated in a press conference on Saturday that in order to prevent the coronavirus from entering Iran, the borders had to be properly monitored.
Raisi said that Iran was one of the few countries that was monitoring the situation of coronavirus in the country almost two days a week in the presence of the President.
"Although the death toll from COVID-19 is low in the country, the relevant figures in coronavirus statistics have increased in some provinces and health protocols must be observed properly," Raisi said.
The official, stating that the situation of coronavirus in Khuzestan province was worrying, called on the people and officials of this province to be very careful and observe the obligations in order to prevent the re-emergence of corona disease there.
Unfortunately, nine cities in Khuzestan province, southwestern Iran, have turned red in terms of the coronavirus infection which is a serious warning, he added.
The Spokesman of the National Task Force for Combating Coronavirus also said that the national vaccination plan with the target group had started well and that the vaccine had been distributed fairly, adding that the vaccination process would continue today and tomorrow.
