It is necessary to close all border crossings with Iraq given the spread of the “British” strain of the coronavirus pandemic in the Khuzestan Province (southwestern Iran).
SİA reports citing the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.
This was stated in a letter from the Iranian Minister of Health and Medical Education Saeed Namaki to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Iran Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli.
According to Namaki, a new strain of the mutated coronavirus is spreading rapidly in the province. Therefore, the borders should be closed indefinitely.
The head of the Committee for Combating Coronavirus in Iran's Khuzestan Province Farhad Abolnejadian also demanded for a state of emergency in Khuzestan Province.
Abolnejadian said that the increase in the number of infection cases of the "British" strain of coronavirus pandemic in Khuzestan Province over the past two weeks has caused concern.
“Serious and urgent steps must be taken in Khuzestan Province to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus,” he said.
