Speaking at the National taskforce for Fighting Covid on Saturday, Raisi said the decrease in the number of fatalities and new cases should not cause people to ease their adherence to the health protocols.
He also thanked the Iranian healthcare workers for their efforts during the past two years.
President Raisi added that Iran owes the downward trend in deaths and infections to the non-stop efforts of doctors, nurses and the medical staff.
The president also urged Iran’s national TV and radio (IRIB) to continue instructing people on necessary guidelines in this regard.
