A source in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed to Avatoday late on Monday that 156 patients with Coronavirus died across Iran in past 24 hours.

“156 patients with Coronavirus died in the last 24 hours,” he said adding that some 2,000 new cases were also documented in this short period of time.

“So far, more than 3,000 people died of Coronavirus throughout the country,” he added.

Iran is highly criticized for its late and inappropriate respond to the crisis.

The country’s officials have allegedly ignored the spread of the virus, denying the truth, in an attempt to encourage people to participate in the annual march of the Islamic Republic’s anniversary as well as its parliamentary election.

Local officials including members of parliaments have warned about what they have called “a human catastrophe” due to the crisis.
