A citizen from Kangan, southern Iran, on Sunday said: “At least five people were reported having coronavirus symptoms.
However, they kept a lid on these reports so that no one would be informed that this illness has reached our city, too. However, everyone already knows, and authorities are preventing people from taking any footage.”
A citizen from Hashtgerd, northern Iran: “None of the pharmacies have gloves, masks, rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizing gels. Authorities, especially plainclothes agents, have all the pharmacies and clinics under close supervision. Even the city’s medical center is taking no measures in this regard. All storeowners who have closed-circuit cameras have been ordered to inform authorities if anyone is seen taking footages. And, the state police are going around downloading all the footage of closed-circuit cameras in stores across the city.”
