Shalbafian added on Saturday, the Covid Taskforce of Iran agreed to the reopening of Iran’s borders to foreigners following the end of the fifth wave of the Covid pandemic and the rise in vaccination rates.
He added that the Covid Taskforce has said foreign tourists can visit Iran provided that they observe all health protocols.
Shalbafian said the decision was made in a bid to support businesses and tourism facilities.
