Dr Mandhari said passing a million infections marked a"concerning milestone" and urged countries to strengthen their healthcare systems.
Iran, which has been struggling to contain the Middle East's deadliest outbreak, on Monday recorded its highest single-day COVID death toll of 162.Official figures have shown a rising trajectory in new confirmed cases since early May, when Iran hit a near two-month low in daily recorded infections. While the virus had spread relatively slowly for months, on Wednesday the number of recorded cases surpassed 51,000 including more than 2,000 deaths.
The small eastern Mediterranean state, while crippled by an economic crisis, has recorded some of the lowest infection and mortality rates in the Middle East: 1,800 cases and just 34 deaths. In Qatar, residents cautiously returned to beaches on Wednesday as the Gulf nation, with one of the world's highest per-capita infection rates and tough penalties for failing to wear masks in public, continued to reopen.Its neighbour Saudi Arabia has been the hardest-hit Gulf state, recording more than 194,225 infections and 1,700 deaths.
"Easing of lockdowns does not mean easing of the response or easing of social responsibilities," he said, warning cases could rise as public spaces reopen"even in countries where the situation now seems to be stabilising"."We have to face this pandemic as one government and one community," he said.
This is very sad. I have faith they will recover stronger than say, the US or Europe. They have the experience and know what to do.
So Qatar has the highest covid rate in the world and we are still sailing live export ships in and out. Negligent and cruel ScottMorrisonMP AlboMP MarkMcGowanMP

Victorian Labor now ‘a health menace’ to every Australian: Bolt | Sky News AustraliaDue to its complete bungling of the coronavirus, the Victorian Labor government is “a health menace now to every Australian” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nMr Bolt said Victorian Labor is “the most incompetent government in the country”. \n\nHe said despite the government being so tough on some bans, such as on golf, camping and fishing, it was weak on “keeping sick people in quarantine and making them stay there”. \n\nVictoria has had 64 new infections of COVID-19 on Tuesday, which follows the 75 new cases on Monday. \n\nOn Tuesday it was revealed Victorians living in one of the state’s ten coronavirus hotspots will be banned from leaving their homes if they don’t qualify for one of four exemptions.\n\nPremier Daniel Andrews said the radical stage three restrictions will be enforced from 11.59pm Wednesday night in a desperate bid to take back control of the state's surging coronavirus outbreak.\n\n“This government had its chance and it blew it and now the rest of us will pay,” Mr Bolt said. \n\nImage: Getty So is still thinking that petty divisive opinion is newsworthy
