Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday said that smart restrictions will gradually replace lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iranian presidential website reported.
Raisi, who was talking in the meeting of the National Headquarters of Administrating COVID-19, called for the coordination of the Health and Education Ministries to vaccinate students over the age of 12.
“Lack of attention to hygiene in the fight against the coronavirus is very dangerous, and health regulations should still be strictly observed,’’ he said.
The President added that it was wrong to think that injecting a vaccine would create absolute safety for people.
By Friday, Iran had reported 5,601,565 COVID-19 cases, of whom 120,663 have died.
The infection and fatality cases in Iran shows a downward trend over the past week.
