Jahanpour added that the situation of the epidemic in the southwestern province of Khuzestan is critical, while provinces of Isfahan, West, and East Azarbaijan, Lorestan, Kermanshah, Hormuzgan and Sistan, and Baluchestan are in alarming conditions.

He noted that people in the country, especially in the above-mentioned provinces, must follow health protocols set out by the Health Ministry.
