Iran Press/Iran news: Ehsan Mostafavi on Tuesday in a press conference held via video conferencing added: "An important factor in the low mortality of corona in Iran compared to many countries, is the young age context in Iran."
According to Mostafavi, the average age of the population in Iran is about 31 years. In Spain, the index is 45 years and in Italy, it is 47 years. As you get older, you are more likely to have underlying illnesses, cancers, obesity, and diabetes, which are risk factors for death.
He noted: "Another significant issue is that the country's health care system has made great efforts in recent months in the field of screening and timely identification, quarantine, and treatment. In Iran, we did not have a serious challenge in the field of treatment."
"Both the Pasteur Institute and the Knowledge-Based institutions have come up with vaccine proposals, and Iran, among other countries, has done researches on the Corona vaccine," said a member of the National Committee for Epidemiology.
"We hope to be able to acquire the technology for this issue and produce the vaccine, along with other countries, but we are currently in the process of carrying out the research on vaccine production.", the official noted.
