Travel Curbs, But No Ban on Public Transport During Norouz

The National Coronavirus Headquarters has not issued any ban on public transportation companies from offering services during the upcoming Iranian New Year holidays (March 21-April 2), known as Norouz. 
“Compliance with guidelines related to Covid-19 is the only requirement for operations of air, rail and road transport providers,” Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mohammad Eslami told IRIB News. 
“As many as 33 million trips are expected to be made during the holidays,” he added. 
However, “unlike previous years, no special flights or extra capacity have been planned for holidays,” Maqsoud Asadi-Samani, secretary of the Association of Iranian Airlines, told Fars News Agency.
