TEHRAN: Iran on Saturday ordered the closure of schools, universities and cultural centres after a coronavirus outbreak that has killed five people in the Islamic republic – the most outside the Far East.Since it emerged in December, the new coronavirus has killed 2,345 people in China, the epicentre of the epidemic, and 17 elsewhere in the world.

“We have 10 new confirmed cases of Covid-19,” Iran’s health ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour told state television on Saturday. The government also announced that “all art and cinema events in halls across the country have been cancelled until the end of the week” in order to stop infections. “We are just wondering about also the potential of more exported cases in the coming days,” she added.State media said the deadly virus had failed to dampen “the revolutionary zeal of Qom’s people” to turn out to vote.Online retailer Digikala – Iran’s equivalent of Amazon – said on Friday that it had sold 75,000 masks within 36 hours.

“Most of the cases are either Qom residents or have a history of coming and going from Qom to other cities,” its spokesman said. “Since those infected in Qom had no contact with the Chinese … the source is probably Chinese workers who work in Qom and have travelled to China,” she added.
