Hassan Rouhani went on to add: "This situation is based on the estimates of the agencies and committees of the National Task Force for Fighting the Coronavirus as a result of the support and observance of health protocols by businesses last week, and of course, according to the mentioned statistics, a significant part of the people have observed health guidelines and were committed to the motto of 'Stay Home' and did not leave home except for necessary situations".
Iran's President called on the nation to adhere to the principles and pay attention to the health protocols.
The President noted: "The relevant bodies can use these estimates to provide their recommendations for the next step in the process of reopening medium-risk businesses for approval by the National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus."
Hassan Rouhani said that the Information and Publicizing Committee of the National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus should coordinate and plan for the country's media, cyberspace and the IRIB by informing, educating and persuading people to follow the regulations and guidelines announced for business.
Hassan Rouhani pointed out that the Ministry of Health must cooperate with the relevant agencies to have strict supervision and control over the observance of health rules and principles, along with educating the people.
He also said that the reopening of education centers under the auspices of the National Task Force for Fighting the Coronavirus depends on the conditions and control of the Coronavirus in the coming weeks, adding: "Therefore, the Ministry of Health must work with the Education Committee and the Social-Security Committee to implement the defined criteria and make a suggestion in this regard".
"The Ministry of Health also has a mission to divide the provinces and cities of the country according to the defined and accepted global standards in three specific situations, and implement related protocols defined in the coming weeks," Iran's President added.
Stating that protocols must be defined precisely in the field of travel of Iranians abroad or foreign nationals whose travels are necessary, the President added: "The Ministry of Health should cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development to follow strict instructions". 207
