Iran MOH Announces 595 New COVID-19 Cases - 43 Additional Deaths



#15,066

If you go strictly by the Iranian MOH's reports, it may appear that Iran's COVID-19 epidemic is beginning to subside.  Over the past two days we've seen significant drops in the number of new patients identified each day, and the official death toll - while high - is much lower than Italy's.
But there are persistent, albeit unverifiable reports of swamped hospitals, and many more deaths coming out of Iran.  And 3 days ago, Iran admitted they had 16,000 (apparently untested) suspected cases in hospitals, on top of their official case count. 
Whether Iran is purposefully manipulating the numbers, or they have hit a `testing wall' due to a lack of test kits or hospital beds, or their recently heightened internal travel restrictions are preventing new cases from reaching hospitals, there are reasons not to immediately conclude that lower daily numbers are a good sign.

The head of the Public Relations and Information Center of the Ministry of Health announced:
Discovery of 595 new cases of coid19 in country
The ministry's spokesman said: Up to now 2,394 patients with cuid19 have recovered and released.
In the next decade, Dr. Kianoosh Jahanpour, Dr. Kianoosh Jahanpour, stated that she is the second most advanced complication in Iran: From yesterday afternoon to today, according to laboratory results, 595 new cases of cuveid19 have been diagnosed and the total number of cases infected with HIV in the country has reached 7161.
He added: Fortunately up to now 2,394 patients with COID19 have improved and released.
A. Jahanpour clarified: Unfortunately, over the past 24 hours, 43 new Coivids 19 people have died and the total number of deaths from the disease has reached 237.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Health stressed the cancellation of unnecessary travel, and stated the total number of Kuid19 patients in Iran to separation from the province.
