He added that as the biggest cultural, religious and political event, all measures had been taken to hold Arba'een in healthy conditions.
Vahidi noted: Fortunately, a good synergy has been formed between Iranian and Iraqi officials to hold the significant rituals.
Also, the Head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS), Pir-Hossein Kolivand, said: "We have planned to help pilgrims if they face any health issues."
He underlined that Iran and Iraq's Red Crescent Societies and Iraq's Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units (PMU)) would help and support Arba'een pilgrims.
Still, Abdul Fattah Navab, the representative of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, said in the congress that Arba'een March has no age or health restrictions and people of all ages and physical conditions can participate in the event.
