International Liberty Association: Iran Shocking statistics released by an official of the Ministry of Health indicate that more than 10,000 medical staff in Iran are infected with the Coronavirus. Qassem Janabaei revealed these shocking statistics on 21 May 2020, during a ceremony honouring Iranian doctors and nurses.

Moreover, according to an Iranian official, more than 100 medical and nursing staff have died thus far in the fight against the Coronavirus. The news was announced by Nasrullah Fathian, Coordination Manager at the Coronavirus National Headquarters of Iran.

The death toll among medical staff in Iran is definitely much higher than that.

On 29 February 2020, Iran’s Nurse House Secretary-General, Mohammad Sharifi Moghaddam, announced, “We cannot announce figures concerning the number of infected nurses. Those statistics are completely secret and not provided to anyone. Even the head of the hospital may not have the real statistics of the patients infected with the Coronavirus”
