TEHRAN -- The head of the Iranian parliament’s health commission on Saturday warned of a new surge in Covid cases in Iran.
In a letter to President Ebrahim Raisi, Husseinali Shahriari called on officials to take precautionary measures to prevent a resurgence of the deadly virus. He noted that the threat is real given the huge rise in the number of Covid cases in East Asia. Reports coming out of China say half a million people a day are being infected with Covid-19 in a single Chinese city.
