Meanwhile, 17,433 more people tested positive for Covid-19 since Tuesday.

Iran’s Covid kill count now stands at 118,191 while the total caseload is 5,477,229. Iranian healthcare workers have stepped up their fight against the potentially deadly disease over the past few weeks.

There has been a huge rise in the number of vaccination places across the country. And people are getting their jabs round the clock countrywide.
