Suspected cases have not been confirmed by laboratory tests as being due to this strain, although some other strains may have been ruled out.

During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, Iran reported its first confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections on 19 February 2020 in Qom.[3] As of 17 March 2020, according to Iranian health authorities, there had been 988 COVID-19 deaths in Iran with more than 16,000 confirmed infections.[4][5][6] As of 20 March 2020, Iran has the third highest number of COVID-19 deaths after China and Italy, the highest in Western Asia and the fourth-highest number of SARS-CoV-2 cases, surpassed only by Mainland China, Italy, and Spain.

Some non-Iranian-government sources estimates of the numbers of SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 deaths are much higher than official values.[7][8][9] The Iranian government has also been accused of coverups, censorship and mismanagement.[10][11][12][13] However, the World Health Organisation says that it has not seen problems with Iran's reported figures.[14]

Multiple Iranian government ministers and senior officials have been diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 positive, including Iraj Harirchi,[15] Masoumeh Ebtekar, Mojtaba Zolnour,[16] Pirhossein Kolivand,[17] Eshaq Jahangiri, Ali Asghar Mounesan, Reza Rahmani,[18] and Ali Akbar Velayati.[19] 23 members of the Iranian Parliament, around 8% of all MPs, were reported to have been infected by 3 March 2020.[20] Notable individuals reported to have died from COVID-19 include Hadi Khosroshahi,[21] Mohammad Mirmohammadi, Hossein Sheikholeslam, Fatemeh Rahbar, Reza Mohammadi Langroudi,[22] Mohammad-Reza Rahchamani,[23] Nasser Shabani,[24], Hashem Bathaie Golpayegani,[25] and Hamid Kahram.[26][16]

Shanghai confirmed four imported cases from Iran.[224][225] The Chinese province of Gansu also confirmed 25 imported cases from Iran, who had travelled in the charters.[226][227][228][229][230][231] [232]

Other international reactions

While the US sanctions legally allow humanitarian products to be sold to Iran, due to their nature, very few banks are willing to risk sanctions by trading with Iran.[233][234] This has severely limited the medical supplies available to the Iranian public health system in dealing with the coronavirus outbreak. One right wing lobby group in the United States, United Against Nuclear Iran, has argued to stop all global humanitarian trade with Iran and prevent medical supplies from reaching the country.[235] The UK, Pakistan and experts are pressing the US to ease sanctions on Iran to help it fight the growing coronavirus outbreak.[236][237][238]

The fifth batch of testing kits was dispatched to Iran by the World Health Organization on 28 February.[239] The group of Chinese medical experts with a new pack of humanitarian aid entered Iran on 29 February.[239]

One Dubai-based newspaper wrongly claimed in a front-page headline that all cases of the new coronavirus in the region came from the Islamic Republic. That would be convenient for the United Arab Emirates, a federation of seven sheikhdoms home to Dubai whose 13 coronavirus cases predominantly trace back to China. [240]

Brian Hook, the US State Department's envoy on Iran, said that the Iranian government lied "and their media was instructed not to report on the coronavirus outbreak as it rapidly spread from the religious city of Qom to other cities".[13]

Struan Stevenson, a Scottish politician and coordinator of the Campaign for Iran Change, which is backed by the People's Mujahedin of Iran accused the Iranian government of covering up the true death toll, and estimated the death count to be 1,200 in early March, ten times that of the official census.[241] It was echoed by the People's Mujahedin of Iran, which also accused the government of suppressing death count.[9]

Non-government estimates

In a preprint paper pending for review on medRxiv journal, Tuite et al. estimated that as of 25 February, c. 18,300 infections (95% confidence interval: 3,770–53,470; best-case scenario: 380–5,320 cases) could have occurred in Iran, based on known exported case counts and air travel links between Iran and other countries, the latter compiled from the data in the past. They concluded that Iran is likely to experience an "epidemic of significant size", while lack of identified cases in countries with close travel ties to Iran are because the cases are "likely being missed, rather than being truly absent".[242]

The government of Iran had insisted that there was no confirmed COVID-19 in Iran before 19 February 2020, when the first cases were announced.[243][244] However, a letter claimed to be from the Ministry of Health to the office of the President that circulated on social media suggests that the Iranian authorities were aware of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases and deaths many days before the official announcement. Government officials said that the letter was a fake.[245][246] Another letter also circulated on social media; it was signed by interior minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli and sent to Health Minister Saeed Namaki to request that the announcement of coronavirus outbreak be delayed until after the parliamentary election to avoid a low turnout of voters. The government has also denied this claim.[247]

On 9 March, Graeme Wood stated that he deems the official count "certainly an undercount", and provided alternative estimates which he calls "doomsday figures,” estimating that in the neighborhood of 2 million Iranians were afflicted.[248]

World Health Organization verification

On 28 February 2020, Michael Ryan, chief of the WHO health emergencies programme told the press that the mortality rate in Iran indicated its outbreak might be more widespread than realised.[249]

On 2 March 2020, The World Health Organization director general Tedros Adhanom said in an interview with CNBC that the WHO has its own mechanism for checking national health authorities' statistics and did not see problems with the official Iranian government SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 counts.[250]

On 17 March 2020, WHO regional emergency director Rick Brennan said the number of cases reported in Iran could represent only about 20% of the real numbers because testing was restricted to severe cases, as is the case even in some wealthy European countries. He added "We’ve said the weakest link in their chain is the data. They are rapidly increasing their ability to test and so the numbers will go up... [t]here’s a great commitment and they are taking it seriously from the highest level of government".[251]

Other sources

Members of parliament

Masoud Pezeshkian, the First Deputy of the Parliament of Iran, claimed on 3 March 2020 that the figures reported by Iran's health ministry are "not real".[252] Member of parliament for Qom Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani claimed on 24 February 2020 that COVID-19 had arrived in Qom three weeks prior, in early February, that the first death had occurred on 13 February but was not announced by officials, and that the true number of COVID-19 deaths in Qom was 50.[7][253] Deputy health minister Iraj Harirchi denied giving false figures, and stated that the death count was 12 with a total of 66 infections.[254]

Anonymous sources reported by media

On 28 February 2020 BBC reported 210 deaths have occurred in Iran, citing "sources in the country's health system", while the official number for the day was 34.[249] Kianush Jahanpur, the spokesman for the health ministry rejected the BBC report in a tweet.[8]

On 12 March, The Economist wrote "[s]ome in the government think the actual number of cases is closer to 100,000", while the official count of infected people was about 9,000.[255]

On 15 March, Radio Farda reported that "based on the statements made by local officials in various parts of Iran", around 1,294 have died, while the official death toll reached 724.[256]

Satellite imagery from Qom cemetery

Burial site at Qom’s Behesht Masoumeh Cemetery

On 12 March, The Washington Post published satellite images and analysis provided by Maxar Technologies, saying that vast burial pits were being excavated near Qom, said to be used to accommodate the potentially increasing number of victims in the city. The digging of the new section of burial pits began on 21 February, only two days after the government announced their first cases of COVID-19, and then rapidly expanded. The number of fresh graves suggests preparation for a far larger number of deaths.[257] Qom municipality official responsible for the city's burial sites said "the graves had been planned before the outbreak as part of usual procedures in the cemetery", and some observers pointed that overall length of the purported 100 yards of cannot accommodate more than about 75-100 graves.[258]

Humanitarian assistance

The UN’s Children Fund (UNICEF) has flown aid into Iran. In late February, the first cargo plane with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) arrived, another on March 3rd and a third aircraft on March 16th. On March 3rd, the United Arab Emirates sent an aircraft with medical supplies and five WHO experts. Uzbekistan sent a plane on March 16th.[259]
