40% Of Tehran Will Be Infected In 2 Weeks: Iranian Health Official

Health officials worry that Iran could be a sign of things to come in the much of the rest of the world — a deeply alarming prospect given a member of Iran's National Committee for Influenza and specialist in infectious diseases, Dr. Masoud Mardani, has issued a stark warning for the capital city of Tehran, brimming with 9 million people and 12 million in the greater metropolitan area. By comparison, Tehran metro population is equal to the size of Los Angeles county. Dr. Mardai said he expects 30 to 40 percent of Tehran's population to be infected with coronavirus within the next two weeks.
