“Global and regional coop[eration] [is] imperative,” Zarif tweeted early Friday.

“We’re closely engaged with WHO [World Health Organization] to battle COVID-19 in Iran and ensure proper care for those infected strict preventive measures … are being implemented,” he noted, highlighting the serious battle in Iran against the novel virus.

Zarif said Iran’s measures in this regard include screening of air travelers at departure gates.
