According to Iran's health ministry officials there has been no confirmed case of coronavirus in the country, as airports and border posts are on high alert to screen for deadly virus.
Government officials also say, trade with China continues as usual, but the country remains vigilant. It’s a sentiment also shared by the Chinese ambassador in Tehran.
Speaking at a press conference in the capital, the top diplomat criticized certain countries for politicizing the outbreak of the coronavirus. Speaking to reporters, the Chinese ambassador said his country is in control of the novel coronavirus and that soon it will find a cure for the disease. He also thanked the Iranian nation for supporting his country in difficult times.
Ambassador Chang Hua told Press TV that the rapid spread of new coronavirus is rattling the countries across the world, and only the collective efforts and international experiences derived from the past outbreaks can accelerate its control.
Iran has hailed the Chinese government for observing healthcare protocols at the highest level following the outbreak of the new respiratory virus. Iran’s support hasn’t gone unnoticed by Chinese nationals living in Iran.
Iran’s ministry of health continues to maintain a full state of preparedness to prevent the spread of the deadly virus. Those returning from China will be quarantined for 14 days. Novel coronavirus detection kits have been shipped to Iran in collaboration with the World Health Organization. Iran has also banned the export of cotton face masks.
