Iran’s Health Ministry registered 101 coronavirus fatalities on Saturday, the lowest overnight tally since mid-June and an 80% drop compared to the peak of the third wave of infections and deaths.
“The total number of deaths rose to 55,438,” the spokeswoman of Health Ministry, Sima Sadat Lari, was quoted as saying by ISNA.
Some 6,000 tested positive for the viral disease within 24 hours, pushing the case tally to 1.237 million, she added.
During a meeting of National Coronavirus Headquarters on Saturday, President Hassan Rouhani said only four counties located in the northern Mazandaran Province are currently on red alert.
