The health ministry is leaving no stone unturned, testing every case of COVID-19 disease in medical centers and hospitals nationwide.

The United Nations has also expressed its appreciation for Irans efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus outbreak, despite sanctions and restrictions by the United States. It has expressed solidarity with the people of Iran, confronted with this public health challenge.
The Iranian government says figures indicating a slowdown in new cases show that the steps it has taken to curb travel and commerce are slowing the spread of the disease. However, the government also says schools, universities and religious-cultural centers will remain closed until further notice.
