US Claim That Iran Sanctions Reinstated 'Baseless': FM Zarif

In a tweet, Mohammad Javad Zarif said the inmates are being held in harrowing conditions.
“US even refuses medical furlough—amid #COVID19—for innocent men jailed in horrific facilities,” Zarif tweeted.

The top diplomat said Washington declines to release Iranian scientists even after they were exonerated by its own courts.

“US has taken several Iranian scientists hostage—without charge or on spurious sanctions charges—& not releasing them; even when its OWN courts reject the absurd charges,” he added.

He made the comment after an Iranian scientist, held in a US jail without charge, slammed his detention conditions as “inhumane.” Sirous Asgari said inmates at the Alexandria detention centre in the state of Louisiana have no access to protective masks and hand sanitizers.

Asgari is an engineering professor who was acquitted in November of federal charges of stealing trade secrets related to his academic work. However, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has imprisoned him indefinitely.

Symptoms of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are very similar to those of other common respiratory diseases such as the common cold. In such a situation, one of the major concerns is whether one should go to medical centres with respiratory symptoms such as cough and runny nose.

In order to answer this question, the Medical Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian Red Crescent Society have developed an online test whose algorithm is based on the symptoms of COVID-19 and international research studies.

The Coronavirus online test has proved to be a powerful means amid the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic in Iran and has so far been taken by over seven million people with the COVID-19 symptoms or those who are concerned about getting it.

The goal of this online test is to help people know whether they need to go to a medical centre for the COVID-19.

The English version of the test has been launched for non-Iranian nationals across the world. So if you are worried that you may have contracted the virus, take this test right now.
