According to Iranian Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi, the coronavirus continues to spread across several Iranian provinces as normal life resumes in the country.
Harirchi, who himself became famous across the world after displaying coronavirus symptoms during a press conference and who later tested positive, said June 17 during a visit to the Kurdistan province of Iran that in the last few days the province has seen an increase in the rate of coronavirus infections and deaths. He said nearly all of the 520 hospital beds set aside for treating the virus are currently occupied.
