Iran’s Health Minister says Covid booster shots make people up to 90 percent resistant to the new strain of the disease known as Omicron.
He said relaxing Covid health protocols could endanger people, urging all Iranians to get their third shots. Meanwhile, Health Ministry figures on Friday showed that the Coronavirus killed 44 people in the past 24 hours.
The latest deaths push to 131,306 the total number of fatalities from the disease since the start of the pandemic.
