Official Warns of Possible 5th Wave of Coronavirus in Iran

The Iranian Coronavirus Headquarters has sounded the alarm over a possible fifth surge in the disease.

The warning comes despite a relative drop in the number of infections and deaths.

โ€œAll provinces across the country, especially 28 ones, are seeing a downward trend in terms of the spread of the coronavirus,โ€ said Alireza Raisi, the spokesman for the headquarters.

โ€œWe have passed the fourth peak of the coronavirus outbreak,โ€ he added.

โ€œIn two weeksโ€™ time, the number of [daily] deaths [from coronavirus] will drop below 200 people, but there is a possibility of a fifth surge in the disease,โ€ he said.

The spokesman underlined that a travel ban may be imposed for the holiday period in early June in order to create a safer atmosphere for the upcoming presidential election in terms of coronavirus infection.

โ€œIf there are covid patients among voters, mobile ballots boxes should be used for them, so that they will not be deprived of the right to vote,โ€ he noted.

He said voting should take place in open spaces as much as possible to contain a possible rise in the disease as a result of being in closed spaces.

โ€œThere is no need for using stamps and fingerprinting on the election day,โ€ he said.
