Iran prepared for dealing with any virus threat: health minister

mahla — Mon, 23 May 2022 22:03:29 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iranian Health Minister Bahram Einollahi has said the country’s infrastructure for producing coronavirus vaccines is so efficient that can be used to deal with any other virus threats.

Iran has proved to be among the very progressive countries in the world in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Some 75 percent of people in the country have received the coronavirus vaccine, which is higher than the 60 percent rate required to create herd immunity,” ILNA quoted Einollahi as saying on Monday.

The minister made the remarks at the seventy-fifth World Health Assembly which is being held in Geneva, Switzerland, from May 22 to 28.

Reducing the COVID-19-related fatality to single-digit has surprised international health experts, as the United States and some European countries are still grappling with high rates of fatality despite all their resources, he stressed.

Previously, Einollahi said the successful experience of the Islamic Republic of Iran in controlling the coronavirus pandemic will be made known at the World Health Assembly.

The death toll from the coronavirus in Iran fell to seven on Monday.

In June 2021, Ahmed al-Mandhari, the World Health Organization director for Eastern Mediterranean Region, said the Islamic Republic of Iran is a role model for primary health care.

For the past four decades, its PHC network has aimed to ensure that people have timely access to affordable, accessible, and acceptable essential health services, he explained.

“At the outset of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Islamic Republic of Iran made its primary health care system a core part of its national response. This PHC infrastructure allowed systematic outreach activities for early case detection, contact tracing, and triage for hospital referral (if necessary) by community health workers.

Gov’t Sets New Restrictions to Curb COVID-19

IRAN NEWS NATIONAL DESK

TEHRAN – President Hassan Rouhani announced on Saturday that new COVID-19 related restrictions will be applied in the capitals of 25 provinces and 46 cities of the country for ten days from Wednesday, as the virus cases are on the rise.

Speaking at the National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus on Saturday, Rouhani stated: “Under this restriction, all activities, mainly related to educational activities and gatherings on various occasions, will be banned for ten days until next Friday.”

Rouhani added: “Restrictions that were previously approved for 43 cities have been extended in this meeting.”

He stressed the need for public cooperation and observing health protocols to contain the disease successfully.

Iranian authorities have blamed a sharp increase in cases on people failing to follow restrictions, and Rouhani said an operations headquarters will be set up to ensure compliance with the health protocols.

Stressing the need for strict implementation of the new restrictions, he said those violating the ban on gatherings, including wedding and mourning ceremonies, will face punishment.

He also noted that detection of the coronavirus patients and analysis of the data on the spread of the disease will be carried out by the Health Ministry in cooperation with the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology.

The president also emphasized the need for “neighborhood instructions” to fight against the contagious disease in every neighborhood and district, saying the local Basij forces can assist in tackling the pandemic.

The President also extended his congratulations on the birth of the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH) and the arrival of Unity Week.

Meanwhile the official IRNA news agency said Tehran police had extended by one week the closure of businesses including beauty salons, teahouses, cinemas, libraries and fitness clubs.

Police will make unannounced visits to other high-risk businesses, and those that violate health protocols will be shut down, IRNA quoted police official Nader Moradi as saying.

Deputy Health Minister Alireza Raisi said in a televised press briefing that the new restrictions from next week in the 25 provinces and 89 counties will include the closure of institutions such as schools, universities, libraries and mosques.

Virus Death May Reach 2 Million before Wide Use of Vaccine: WHO

reporter 1222 — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 10:01:07 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – The coronavirus death toll could double to reach the two million mark before a vaccine comes into wide use, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) head of emergencies Mike Ryan has warned.

The current death toll, which is hovering just below the one million mark, could easily grow twofold without a “concerted” effort to make an effective vaccine widely available as soon as possible, Ryan said in a Friday news conference, RT reported.

“Unless we do it… the number you speak about (two million deaths) is not only imaginable, but sadly very likely,” he said.

The official also spoke about the ongoing increase in spread rates registered worldwide in the past few weeks after anti-coronavirus lockdowns were eased in many countries. Ryan cautioned against blaming the latest spike on young people, who have allegedly become the primary spreaders.

“I really hope we don’t get into finger wagging: it’s all because of the youth,” he said. “The last thing a young person needs is an old person pontificating and wagging the finger.”

The situation in Europe, where several countries, including France and the UK, reported the highest-ever daily rises in COVID-19 cases, remains very “worrying,” WHO officials have said, urging the authorities to do their best to try and halt the spread before the season of regular flu comes around.

“We are at the end of September and we haven’t even started our flu season yet, so what we are worried about is the possibility that these trends are going in the wrong direction,” WHO’s technical lead on coronavirus, Maria Van Kerkhove, said.

Globally, more than 32.3 million people have contracted the disease with over 980,000 succumbing to it, the latest figures by Johns Hopkins University show.

COVID-19 Fatalities Pass 867,000 Worldwide

reporter 1222 — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 12:07:22 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Coronavirus worldwide cases have exceeded 26.1 million with the deaths passing 867,000 in total, according to Worldometer figures.

According to the latest figures on Thursday, 26,184,512 people have so far been infected with the novel coronavirus globally, with the deaths reaching 867,374 and recoveries amounting to 18,448,201.

With 6,290,737 cases and 189,964 deaths, the US continues with the world’s highest number of coronavirus infections and fatalities.

Brazil comes in second place with 4,001,422 infections and 123,899 deaths.

India has registered 3,853,406 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 67,486 people have died.

There are now more than 1,005,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Russia and 17,414 people have died.

It is followed by Peru (663,437), Colombia (633,339), South Africa (630,595), Mexico (610,957), Spain (479,554) Argentina (439,172), and Chile (414,739) in terms of infection.

Iran President: 35 Million People Prone to Coronavirus

reporter 1222 — Sat, 18 Jul 2020 10:26:25 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – President of Iran Hassan Rouhani said around 35 million people in the country are estimated to be susceptible to the novel coronavirus infection in the coming months, stressing, however, that Iran will successfully deal with the viral disease.

Speaking at a Saturday session of the Coronavirus Fight National Headquarters, Rouhani said a report from the Health Ministry suggests that 30 to 35 million Iranians will likely be susceptible to COVID-19 infection in the coming months.

He also stressed the need for strict compliance with the health protocols to cut off the chain of contagion.

Of every 1,000 people infected with the coronavirus, 500 show no symptoms, 350 ones have mild symptoms without the need for hospital admission, while 150 others need to be hospitalized, the president added.

Rouhani said the coronavirus cases displaying no symptoms are the most dangerous group in terms of spreading the disease.

He further underlined that people should not be made nervous about the coronavirus pandemic, saying although defeating the disease may be a time-consuming and difficult process, Iran will definitely emerge victoriously and overcome the challenge.

Rouhani further called for efforts to strengthen the society’s tolerance in the health and economic sectors, adding, “The process of production and employment must continue, and it is necessary to observe the protective and health instructions strictly in the production centers.”

Last month, the president highlighted his administration’s efforts to deal with the economic consequences of the coronavirus outbreak, saying there have been initiatives to protect the livelihood of people and prevent price hikes.

In April, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei gave permission for withdrawing €1 billion from the National Development Fund of Iran to battle against the novel coronavirus and handle the consequences of the disease.

Having Cold Could Protect People from COVID-19

reporter 1222 — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 11:11:18 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Having endured a common cold could protect people from getting severe COVID-19, according to scientists.

A study suggests the immune system’s reaction to different coronaviruses could be very similar to its reaction to the one behind the pandemic, the Daily Mail reported.

As a result, lasting immunity from those viruses — known to cause colds — may help the body fight off COVID-19 if someone catches it, meaning they get less seriously ill.

The German research also focuses on a less-discussed type of immunity, instead of antibodies which have been at the forefront of a lot of studies.

T-cell immunity appears to be more common among infected patients and scientists say it may potentially last even longer.

Eight out of 10 people who have never even had the disease have some degree of protection because of colds they’ve had in the past, the study claimed.

And even COVID-19 patients with very mild symptoms developed a strong T-cell immune response, whereas they do not appear to have strong antibody responses.

It is still not clear whether people can catch the coronavirus twice, and this type of immunity might not prevent that, but it could lessen their symptoms if they do.

Researchers at University Hospital Tübingen in Germany studied the blood of 365 people, 180 of whom had had Covid-19 and 185 who hadn’t.

When the researchers exposed people’s blood to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, people who had had the illness already produced the strongest immune response.

But surprisingly, there was also an immune reaction in 81 percent of the people (150) who had never had COVID-19.

This, the scientists said, was because they had already been infected with one or more of the common cold coronaviruses known to infect humans – named OC43, 229E, NL63, and HKU1 – and their immune systems cross-reacted as a result.

The researchers wrote: ‘Similarity to common cold human coronaviruses provided a functional basis for… immunity in SARS-CoV-2 infection’.

The reaction the researchers were studying is caused by T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that produces long-lasting protection from a serious infection.

But they are slower acting than antibodies and may not stop a virus before it takes hold.

One scientist who was not involved with the research, Professor Francois Balloux – an infectious disease expert working at University College London – explained how they work in a Twitter thread today.

He said: ‘T-cell response is a late immune response and does not generally make the host refractory [resistant] to infection…

‘Though, T-cell immunity is essential for controlling infection and reducing symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 seems to elicit a robust T-cell response even in asymptomatic/mild patients.’

The Tübingen study’s findings raise hope that people may develop natural immunity to COVID-19, which is something antibody studies were not looking hopeful for.

Antibodies are developed much faster by the body – some within days of infection – and fight off the illness before being stored in the immune system in case it comes back.

The presence of strong antibodies may mean that people do not become ill with a virus a second time because the immune system is so fast to destroy it.

But many COVID-19 patients – especially those who only had mild symptoms or none at all – did not appear to be developing detectable levels of antibodies, causing concern among scientists.

The Tübingen researchers wrote in their study: ‘At present, determination of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 relies on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses.

‘However, despite the high sensitivity reported for several assays [tests], there is still a substantial percentage of patients with negative or borderline antibody responses and thus unclear immunity status after SARS-CoV-2 infection.’

They said that their study found T-cell immune responses even in patients who tested negative for antibodies, meaning they did have some level of protection.

The team said T-cell immunity to COVID-19 deserved more scientific study and that they are now preparing to start human trials of vaccines they hope could develop it.

The study was published on the website Research Square – not in a medical journal – and had not been scrutinized by independent scientists before publication.

Scientists starting to grasp health problems caused by COVID-19

reporter 1222 — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 06:41:02 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Scientists are only starting to grasp the vast array of health problems caused by the COVID-19, some of which may have lingering effects on patients and health systems for years to come, according to doctors and infectious disease experts.

Besides the respiratory issues that leave patients gasping for breath, the virus that causes COVID-19 attacks many organ systems, in some cases causing catastrophic health problems, Reuters reported.

“We thought this was only a respiratory virus. Turns out, it goes after the pancreas. It goes after the heart. It goes after the liver, the brain, the kidney, and other organs. We didn’t appreciate that in the beginning,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist, and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California.

In addition to respiratory distress, patients with COVID-19 can experience blood clotting disorders that can lead to strokes and extreme inflammation that attacks multiple organ systems. The virus can also cause neurological complications that range from headache, dizziness, and loss of taste or smell to seizures and confusion.

And recovery can be slow, incomplete, and costly, with a huge impact on the quality of life.

The broad and diverse manifestations of COVID-19 are somewhat unique, said Dr. Sadiya Khan, a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.

With influenza, people with underlying heart conditions are also at higher risk of complications, Khan said. What is surprising about this virus is the extent of the complications occurring outside the lungs.

Khan believes there will be a huge health care expenditure and burden for individuals who have survived COVID-19.

Patients who were in the intensive care unit or on a ventilator for weeks will need to spend extensive time in rehab to regain mobility and strength.

“It can take up to seven days for every one day that you’re hospitalized to recover that type of strength,” Khan said. “It’s harder the older you are, and you may never get back to the same level of function.”

While much of the focus has been on the minority of patients who experience severe disease, doctors increasingly are looking to the needs of patients who were not sick enough to require hospitalization, but are still suffering months after first becoming infected.

Studies are just getting underway to understand the long-term effects of infection, Jay Butler, deputy director of infectious diseases at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters in a telephone briefing on Thursday.

“We hear anecdotal reports of people who have persistent fatigue, shortness of breath,” Butler said. “How long that will last is hard to say.”

While coronavirus symptoms typically resolve in two or three weeks, an estimated one in 10 experience prolonged symptoms, Dr. Helen Salisbury of the University of Oxford wrote in the British Medical Journal on Tuesday.

Salisbury said many of her patients have normal chest X-rays and no sign of inflammation, but they are still not back to normal.

“If you previously ran 5k three times a week and now feel breathless after a single flight of stairs, or if you cough incessantly and are too exhausted to return to work, then the fear that you may never regain your previous health is very real,” she wrote.

Dr. Igor Koralnik, chief of neuro-infectious diseases at Northwestern Medicine, reviewed current scientific literature and found about half of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had neurological complications, such as dizziness, decreased alertness, difficulty concentrating, disorders of smell and taste, seizures, strokes, weakness and muscle pain.

Koralnik, whose findings were published in the Annals of Neurology, has started an outpatient clinic for COVID-19 patients to study whether these neurological problems are temporary or permanent.

Khan sees parallels with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Much of the early focus was on deaths.

“In recent years, we’ve been very focused on the cardiovascular complications of HIV survivorship,” Khan said.

Iran Daily Death Toll from Coronavirus Exceeds 120

reporter 1222 — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 11:35:32 +0000

TEHRAN (Iran News) – The daily death toll from the coronavirus in Iran surpassed 120 as the total number of cases since the outbreak of the disease in the country is about to hit 210,000, the Health Ministry’s spokeswoman said.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Sima Sadat Lari put the daily death toll from coronavirus in Iran at 9,863, saying the disease has taken the lives of 121 patients over the past 24 hours.

She said the total number of people tested positive for COVID-19 in the country has risen to 209,970 following the detection of 2,445 new cases since yesterday.

Of the new cases detected since Monday, 1,234 patients have been admitted to the hospital, she added.

At least 169,160 patients have recovered from the coronavirus infection so far and have been discharged from hospitals across Iran, the spokeswoman said.

Among those undergoing treatment in medical centers at present, 2,846 coronavirus patients have critical health conditions because of more severe infection, Lari noted.

She further said more than 1,475,000 coronavirus diagnostic tests have been carried out in Iran so far.

The number of people infected with COVID-19 across the world has surpassed 9,2 million and the death toll has exceeded 474,000.

Trump Restricts Entry From Brazil as Virus Cases Spike There

Trump Restricts Entry From Brazil as Virus Cases Spike There

According To Iran News, The US will prohibit the entry of most non-US citizens arriving from Brazil, where coronavirus cases have spiked to the second highest in the world, expanding restrictions already placed on visitors from China and Europe.

The order begins at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, at which point the entry of foreigners who’ve been in Brazil during the 14-day period before their arrival into the US will be halted, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Sunday.

The restrictions, foreshadowed earlier on Sunday by National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, don’t apply to the flow of commerce between the US and Brazil. Exemptions apply for various individuals, Bloomberg reported.

Trump said last week he was considering barring the entry of flights from Brazil, and he continued to float the idea, culminating in Sunday’s directive.

“Brazil is having some trouble, no question about it,” Trump said on May 19 at the start of a cabinet meeting. “I don’t want people coming in here and infecting our people.”

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that Brazil “is experiencing widespread, ongoing person-to-person transmission of” the coronavirus, according to Trump’s proclamation on Sunday.

O’Brien said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he hoped any action taken would be temporary — although restrictions placed on other countries haven’t been lifted so far.

‘Every Step Necessary’

“Because of the situation in Brazil, we’re going to take every step necessary to protect the American people,” O’Brien added.

Brazil added 15,813 new coronavirus cases on Sunday and reported another 653 deaths. The South American nation now has 363,211 confirmed cases, trailing only the US globally. Its death toll of 22,666 is behind the US and some of the most infected European countries, including the UK and Spain.

The US has over 1.6 million confirmed cases and more than 97,000 deaths.

Trump’s move was announced on a day when Dias Toffoli, chief justice of Brazil’s Supreme Court, took medical leave after experiencing Covid-like symptoms after being in the hospital for an unrelated matter.

Neither Brazil’s presidential palace nor its foreign ministry immediately responded to a request for comment on the US travel restrictions.

O’Brien said the rest of South America, where coronavirus cases are lower, would be looked at “on a country-by-country basis.”

Trump restricted entry into the US from China in late January and suspended most European travel to the US in March.

Europe Relaxing Virus Restrictions but Cases Flare Elsewhere

Europe Relaxing Virus Restrictions but Cases Flare Elsewhere

According To Iran News, Germany and several other European countries where the coronavirus spread has slowed were moving ahead Friday with relaxing border restrictions, while flare-ups in Mexico and elsewhere served as a reminder the pandemic is far from over.

Slovenia, which has been gradually easing strict lockdown measures, declared that the spread of the virus is now under control and that European Union residents could now enter from Austria, Italy and Hungary.

Germany, meantime, was preparing to open its border entirely with Luxembourg at midnight, and increase the number of crossings open from France, Switzerland and Austria. Travelers will still need to demonstrate a “valid reason” to enter Germany and there will be spot checks, but the goal is to restore free travel by June 15.

Germany’s states have also agreed to drop a mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers entering from the European Union and several other European countries, including Britain, said Armin Laschet, the governor of the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

“Germany will only overcome the corona crisis if European freedom of movement for people, goods and services is fully restored,” Laschet said, AP reported.

Germany has seen more than 170,000 COVID-19 infections and nearly 8,000 deaths, but more than 150,000 people have recovered and the country has been seeing fewer than 1,000 new cases per day.

Austria and Switzerland were also moving ahead with easing some border restrictions, and Austria reopened all cafes and restaurants.

“I have been having breakfast at this café for about 100 years,” said Helmut Gollner, a former literature professor who was one of the first guests Friday morning at Vienna’s Cafe Sperl. “My wife always made great breakfast but it’s a different atmosphere here with the newspapers and so on.”

Restaurants were reopening in more German states Friday as well, and the country was to resume professional soccer on Saturday after a two-month hiatus.

The Bundesliga plans five games with no fans present and other precautions, including the Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke.

In Sydney, many cafes and restaurants opened again Friday as New South Wales, Australia’s most populous state, granted permission for them, as well as places of worship, to reopen with up to 10 people so long as distancing rules are in place.

Many Catholic churches across the state opened for private prayer, confession and small-scale Masses.

“The celebration of Mass is the highest form of Catholic worship and to not be able to physically gather these past two months has been very difficult,” Sydney’s Archbishop Anthony Fisher said in a statement.

In Japan, some schools, restaurants and other businesses started to reopen after the country lifted its national coronavirus emergency, while keeping in place restrictions in limited urban areas like Tokyo where risks remain.

As countries move ahead with relaxing restrictions, the head of the World Health Organization’s Europe office, Dr. Hans Kluge, warned that distancing guidance and other protective measures were more important than ever.

“It’s very important to remind everyone that as long as there is no vaccine and effective treatment, there is no return to normal,” he said on French radio Europe-1.

“This virus won’t simply disappear, so the personal behavior of each of us will determine the behavior of the virus. Governments have done a lot, and now the responsibility is on the people.”

Worldwide, there have been more than 4.4 million coronavirus infections reported and 300,000 deaths, while nearly 1.6 million people have recovered according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University.

A first case was confirmed among the 1 million refugees from Myanmar living in dire, overcrowded conditions in southern Bangladesh. Another, a local person living in the Cox’s Bazaar district, also tested positive, refugee commissioner Mahbub Alam Takukder said.

Aid workers have been warning of the potential for a serious outbreak if the virus reaches the camps, and teams were activated to treat patients and trace, quarantine and test people they may have encountered.

Ahead of Mexico’s plan to partially reopen key industries such as mining, construction and auto plants on May 18, authorities sounded a note of concern as the country reported its largest one-day rise in coronavirus case numbers.

There were 2,409 new COVID-19 test confirmations Thursday, the first time that number has exceeded 2,000 in one day.

“We are at the moment of the fastest growth in new cases,” said Assistant Health Secretary Hugo Lopez-Gatell. “This is the most difficult moment.”

Deaths have neared 4,500 and there were signs that hospital capacity was nearing its limit in Mexico City, the hardest-hit area. The Health Department reported that 73% percent of the city’s general-care hospital beds were full; the percentage was lower for intensive-care beds, but that was partly because of the expansion of improvised ICU units at hospitals and other venues.

In Brazil, news website G1 reported that 900 people in Rio de Janeiro were waiting for an intensive-care bed in one of the state’s overwhelmed units. President Jair Bolsonaro warned of looming “chaos” as he once again lambasted governors and mayors who introduced lockdowns in cities to limit spread of the new virus.

“I’m sorry, many will die, but even more will if the economy continues to be destroyed by these measures,” Bolsonaro told journalists in Brasilia on Thursday. “These lockdowns, closing everything, is the path to failure. It will break Brazil.”

Colombian President Ivan Duque has ordered all residents of the Amazonas Department, near the border with Brazil, to stay inside except to buy food or get medical care. Local hospitals are being overwhelmed as cases rise in a vulnerable part of the Amazon, home to many indigenous groups.

In the US, the Grand Canyon National Park was reopening Friday to allow visitors in for day trips but not overnight.

As a number of regions in New York were to reopen, Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged local governments to keep a close eye on key metrics, and that people and businesses were complying with distancing rules.

Amid those and other reopening, protests and debate persisted over how quickly to end shutdowns.

With more than 1.4 million infections and nearly 85,000 deaths, the US has the largest outbreak in the world by far.

Two weeks into a reopening in Texas, where stay-at-home orders expired May 1, single-day highs of 58 deaths and 1,458 new cases were reported on Thursday. With more restrictions due to end on Monday, including reopening gyms, confrontations were brewing between big cities trying to keep some precautions in place and state officials who want to push ahead.

In Virginia, two cities asked Gov. Ralph Northam to delay a reopening planned for Friday, saying it’s too early. Kansas’ Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly tapped the brakes on reopening her state’s economy, ordering bars and bowling alleys to stay closed until June instead of reopening Monday. She’s also keeping some coronavirus-inspired restrictions in place until late June.
