Iran: Regime’s criminal cover-up about Corona virus causes public anxiety, rise in number of victims

The mullahs’ regime, which had been falsely denying the spread of Coronavirus to Iran so far, admitted for the first time today the death of two Coronavirus patients in the city of Qom. Authorities are refusing to announce the actual number of those effected and deceased. This is while the residents of Qom put the number of deaths at 12 and those infected at more than 200. The mullahs’ criminal cover-up has caused public anxiety, the spread of the virus, and a rise in the number of the victims.

The motive behind the cover-up is to prevent further desertion of the polling stations. People in Qom are saying that routine travel to China, including unrestricted travel by Chinese clerics and theology students hired by the regime, is a primary cause of the spread of the virus. Today, residents of Qom stood in long lines outside the pharmacies to buy masks.

Flights by the IRGC-owned Mahan Air to China continue. Today, Eqtesad Online published a document to prove that the flights were ongoing.

To prevent the regime’s cover-up, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to immediately dispatch it supervisory and medical teams to Iran to not allow a rise in the number of Coronavirus victims.

Mrs. Rajavi also emphasized that the mullahs’ regime must put all medical resources at the disposal of physicians and nurses in different cities to enable them to attend to those suffering from the virus and to cure them.
