A 102-year-old woman in the city of Zanjan was discharged from hospital after eight days of battling the disease.
She was reunited with her family after full recovery.
Another coronavirus patient, 106 years of age, in the city of Qom also recovered after 14 days and was discharged from hospital in good health.
In the same city, a 100-year-old man, named Afshari, recovered from the disease and left the hospital. Mr Afshari is the father of a martyr who sacrificed his life in the 1980 Iran-Iraq war.
Also in Qom, an 89-year-old man affected with the virus was discharged from hospital after full recovery. He had been in hospital for 20 days.
Earlier, a 98-year-old Iranian woman had made a miraculous recovery from the coronavirus after a 27-day hospital stint in the holy city of Mashhad, northeast of the country.
A 103-year-old woman was also discharged from hospital after full recovery from the novel coronavirus a few days ago.
Born in 1916, she is the oldest corona-virus patient to recover in Semnan’s Kowsar Hospital, said Dr. Navid Danaei, Chairman of the Semnan University of Medical Sciences.
She is in generally quite good condition, he added.
Sixty-five percent of the patients suffering from the disease have recovered and been released from the hospital, Dr. Danaei added.
In a letter to Minister of Interior Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, the health minister praised the Interior Ministry personnel for their unwavering efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Namaki said the Interior Ministry’s devotion, coupled with the popular cooperation and the tireless efforts from the Police forces, has embodied a successful model in implementing the social distancing scheme and in the handling and prevention of coronavirus on the Nature Day, April 1.
The health minister finally noted that every single tactful step in the prevention of coronavirus could reduce the heavy pressure on the country’s medical centers.
In a separate letter to Basij Commander Brigadier General Gholam-Reza Soleimani, the health minister praised the Basij forces for their close cooperation with the medical staff and for contribution to the national mobilization plan for the fight against COVID-19.
Namaki also asked the Basij Force to stand with the medical society on the path fraught with difficulties, saying the Islamic Republic has so far achieved glorious results in the fight against the coronavirus under the pressure of sanctions in comparison to countries with strong economies.
The number of coronavirus patients in Iran exceeded 55,000 on Saturday, of whom around 20,000 have recovered and left the hospital. The contagious disease has taken the lives of 3,452 people in Iran so far.
Now that knowledge-based companies and startups have made significant efforts to develop advanced technologies, it’s time for them to enter the global market and benefit from these markets.
What follows is a summary of the activities of the Science and Technology Department of the Iranian president’s office to help knowledge-based companies expand their markets at the international level during the past year ending on March 20, 2020.
With the aim of developing scientific and technological interactions, Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari travelled to Russia, the People’s Republic of China and Turkey last year. During these trips, some managers of the knowledge-based companies accompanied him.
As the trade relations between Iran and Russia have a long history, it was time for the knowledge-based companies to deepen the technological cooperation between the two countries along with these trade relations.
In July 2019, the Vice President for Science and Technology arrived in Moscow at the head of a scientific and technological delegation. The trip led to boosting of technological cooperation between the two sides.
70 knowledge-based companies accompanied Sattari in this trip. From the very first day in Moscow, the empowerment of knowledge-based companies was pursued. To this end, the companies’ representatives visited the 10th International Industrial Exhibition (INNOPROM 2019).
In this exhibition, more than 600 reputable companies from 107 countries presented their achievements in Yekaterinburg. So, it was an opportunity to introduce new technologies to the knowledge-based firms to develop their target markets.
During this visit, Sattari also attended two trade and technology meetings in Moscow and Yekaterinburg. The meetings focused on creating a platform for exporting products, finding business partners, attracting investors and transferring technology.
Ten cooperation agreements were signed between the companies of the two countries in areas such as oil and gas engineering services, virtual reality, medicine, vaccines, production of surgical robots, and joint development of games.
After travelling to Russia, the Vice President for Science and Technology travelled to China in November upon the official invitation of the Chinese Minister of Science.
As China is the world’s most populous country and has a high gross domestic product, the presence of the Iranian delegation, along with knowledge-based companies, introduced China’s market to them for development of their exports.
During the trip, two business and technology meetings were held in Shanghai and Shenzhen. The development of exports of knowledge-based, creative companies was followed in these meetings. In addition, attending the meetings acquainted the researchers with the latest scientific and technological achievements of the two countries.
At the Shenzhen meeting, seven memoranda of understanding were signed between Iranian knowledge-based companies and the Chinese side. Cell therapy, gene therapy, and the issue of joint production of social robots were some of the topics on which agreements were signed.
Meanwhile, Chen Rugui, Mayor of Shenzhen, in a meeting with Vice-President Sattari, welcomed any scientific and technological cooperation with Iran.
Sattari also said in this meeting that Shenzhen can be the twin town of some cities in Iran.
“China’s technological development is a model for us. Because Iran is also pursuing an oil-free economy by developing the ecosystems and innovation. Soon, oil and steel companies will be pushed aside by technological companies, and these companies will have a significant share of the economy,” he said.
After travelling to China, the Vice President for Science and Technology headed a delegation of 80 knowledge-based companies to Turkey in February.
During the visit, Sattari met with Turkish Vice President, Minister of Industry and Technology and President of the Council of Higher Education of Turkey.
In these meetings, strategies for the development of scientific and technological cooperation between the two side were pursued. Sattari also attended some trade and technology meetings in this trip.
The new knowledge sharing network, dubbed TritApp, has been established under an agreement between Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the social network of Iranian healthcare professionals, including professors, students, experts, and researchers, the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science and Technology reported.
The key point in the knowledge sharing network is working on professional frameworks of the activities in the battle with coronavirus and preventing the specialized subjects from being disseminated to the public.
Medical experts believe that laxity in the spread of specialized subjects in the media and social networks would increase the probability of false rumors and unnecessary concerns in the society.
TritApp involves a group of selected healthcare professionals offering a range of services.
One of the main features of the knowledge sharing network, called “Iran Asks, China Answers”, has come on stream under supervision of professors at Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex of Iran. The feature allows for direct and immediate contacts between the Iranian and Chinese health workforces fighting against COVID-19 in Tehran and Wuhan.
TritApp also includes a feature that allows the experts to share their “one-minute experiences” of the battle with coronavirus.
The network is also scheduled to allow for the online sharing of lessons, findings and experiences of the healthcare managers and experts in order to re-implement the successful experiences in the other hospitals and prevent a recurrence of mistakes amid the coronavirus crisis.
The health workforces can upload videos, podcasts and texts about their findings on TritApp. The contents will be then reviewed and evaluated by the experienced professors of Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, and become available for the other users after verification.
The knowledge sharing network also includes a digital database of the latest articles, guidelines and lessons on handling, controlling and curing COVID-19. The Iranian experts can receive the contents in Persian and English after they are translated from Chinese.
TritApp also lets the Chinese expert teams share the latest videos and educational contents with Iranian physicians.
Moreover, the Iranian experts can share their experience of fight against COVID-19 with their colleagues in the neighboring countries and other parts of the world. A large number of healthcare professionals from Afghanistan and Iraq have now joined the new knowledge sharing network.If you are worried that you may have contracted the Coronavirus, take this test right now.

Construction of the building started in 1933. It was inscribed on the Iranian cultural heritage list in 2017. The 89-year-old bank is one of the oldest banks across Iran.
The museum includes a collection of antiquities such as old tools and equipment used in the banking industry, gifts and presents given by the foreign nations during the Achaemenid and Sasanian empires, and valuable works of art like paintings, calligraphy works, carpets and coins.
Melli Bank Museum building has been constructed by creative German architect Heinrich, whose designs have been inspired by the building of the Achaemenid Empire era and a combination of the ancient Iranian and the European architecture.
The central hall of the museum has a high ceiling with skylights that make the interior beautifully illuminated and create memorable scenes.
Referring to the ability of knowledge-based companies to produce corona detection kits and medical equipment and prevent the spread of the virus in the country, Sorena Sattari said the activities of various research companies and universities operating in the field of biotech have now led to the production of coronavirus testing kits.
He made the comments during a ceremony to unveil the smart system to diagnose COVID-19 pandemic stressing that two knowledge-based companies are currently working on the Corona testing kits and have delivered 250,000 kits.
These companies have the capacity to produce 100,000 kits per week, he said on Saturday.
In addition, another company is approved to produce the Coronavirus diagnostic kits. With the steps taken so far, hopefully the country will no longer need to import kits, underlined Sattari.
Talking about the production of anti-corona equipment, the Vice President for Science and Technology announced the presence of two knowledge-based companies in the field of ventilator production, and that the researchers at these companies have been able to produce these devices to meet the needs of hospitals.
He said the device could turn an ordinary bed into an ICU bed.
“Currently, the problem of many companies is the production of these ventilators. With the entry of knowledge-based companies into this field, the country’s needs have been met while these devices are offered at a low price.”
Referring to the production of masks needed by the country, Sattari said, at the beginning of the virus outbreak, mask production was difficult, so knowledge-based companies began to produce this product to meet the country’s needs.
According to him, during the outbreak of corona, the production of masks increased more than four times, which of course must have increased dozens of times more to meet the needs of the region in addition to the needs of the country.
The Vice President for Science and Technology also gave details of the efforts of knowledge-based companies in the field of drug production to treat patients with the coronavirus, stressing that these companies are working hard on drug protocols for the treatment of COVID-19.
“Clinical trials are currently being conducted by researchers at these companies, and the good thing is that we no longer need to import equipment to fight corona, and shortages have been addressed by knowledge-based companies,” continued Sattari.
Underscoring that knowledge-based companies are at the forefront of the fight against the unknown coronavirus, Sattari expressed hope that the country works with these companies so that no one would be left behind hospital doors.
“Few countries in the world have been able to work coordinately to fight Corona, but in Iran it has been achieved as a result of the country’s investment in various areas of health, technology and innovation.”
Referring to the achievements of other researchers in the field of artificial intelligence, he said, so far, knowledge-based companies have entered the field of production of diagnostic kits, but several companies have been able to use artificial intelligence and new technologies to diagnose COVID-19.
“This is the result of the advancement of knowledge-based companies in the field of artificial intelligence,” Sattari said.
“Now this company is able to run a system with high accuracy to diagnose the coronavirus using a CT scan device. This system can be used in many hospitals.”
At the ceremony, Head of Headquarters to Fight Coronavirus in Tehran, Dr Alireza Zaali, hailed the support of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology for companies active in the field adding that these achievements would have not been possible without the support of the Vice Presidency.
He said the use of CT scans is the best screening method for patients with the Coronavirus because within minutes, it can determined whether they are infected with the coronavirus.
Zali also stressed the use of this system has the highest degree of effectiveness in diagnosis and will make the work of doctors easier.
“The use of diagnostic tools must be highly accurate, and the system unveiled today has an unparalleled potential to be used globally.”
Talking about the benefits of using this system, Zali maintained this system can be used in the regions there are no doctors or radiologists to examine the patients.

“As mayor of Tehran I have seen lives lost as a result of medical shortages. This is no time for vindictive politics,” Hanachi wrote in the article published on Saturday, April 4, 2020.
o many of us urban administrators in Iran, the onslaught of coronavirus has underscored an important fact of life: no town, city or nation can be indifferent to global crises, even in far-flung corners of our world.
Indeed, while the mantra of good governance over the past century has been to “think global, act local”, we must today think and act both locally and globally.
Unfortunately, the small-mindedness that has dominated the politics of various countries in past years has not dissipated. Rather, those who have aggressively advocated pursuit of narrowly defined “national interests” at any cost are doubling down. The consequences of this posturing are many.
In Iran, urban administrators are left facing an unprecedented public health crisis. Figures show that 3,160 had died from the disease by 2 April and there are more than 50,000 cases of infection. The rate of infections is not yet slowing, and many of them are in Tehran, the city of which I am mayor.
Doubtless there are things that we could do differently, like every country in the world. But we are operating against the backdrop of the most extreme sanctions regime in history. The US embargo not only prohibits American companies and individuals from conducting lawful trade with Iranian counterparts, but given that the sanctions are extra-territorial, all other countries and companies are also bullied into refraining from doing legitimate business with Iranians, even the selling of medicines.
As a result, the ability of my colleagues and I to provide the health, logistical and other essential infrastructure necessary to combat the disease has been drastically reduced. We experience this loss every day, and it can be counted in people that would not have died.
This unjust treatment of Iran has come about via the policies of one country – the United States – whose ruling administration does not seem to prioritise even its own national interests, but instead the narrow interests of a governing party. The outcome of such irresponsible policies and behaviour is not limited to Iran; they have also inflicted harm on the American public.
Indeed, the Donald Trump administration’s refusal to halt its economic warfare against Iran is directly impeding our efforts to deal with a virus which knows no borders. Is it in the US’s national interest for the coronavirus pandemic to become permanent?
In order to better confront these new global crises, there is a need for politicians to realise that the path to pursuing national interests is not separate or contrary to that of global interests and international accountability.
Of equal importance, it must be recognised that as long as the general consensus in international politics does not actively move toward reducing injustice and inequality beyond national and racial boundaries, global crises will continue to indiscriminately endanger every country in the world.
The world cannot go on like this. If global leaders fail to seize the opportunity to embrace change, we will all continue to remain highly vulnerable to communicable diseases, environmental catastrophes, global warming, terrorism, violent extremism and other shared threats.
The new fatalities increase the death toll to 3,452, said Health Ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour on Saturday.
At the same period of time (Friday noon to Saturday noon), Iran also had the highest number of patients discharged from the hospital after full recovery. According to Jahanpour, 1,801 patients recovered in 24 hours, increasing the total number of recoveries to 19,736.
The number of new infections also dropped for the sixth day in a row. The spokesman said 2,560 new cases were confirmed in 24 hours, raising the total number to 55,743.
He said 4,103 of the patients are in severe conditions right now.
The spokesman also called on all Iranians to take the self-assessment online coronavirus test.
