According to confidential information received by Avatoday on Wednesday, 488 people died of Coronavirus in Iran.

“Until Wednesday mid-day, February 26, 488 people died and more than two thousand diagnosed with the virus have been hospitalized,” Avatoday source in the Intelligence organization of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) revealed.

The source added that so far, about 6,000 suspected cases with the virus have been reported to the hospitals, but “the test results have not been confirmed yet.”

The virus is reportedly spreading across Iran with official reports saying there have been 19 death out of more than 70 cases on Wednesday. The data was questioned by many reports and even by local authorities.

At the same time, the number of cases of patients with Coronavirus are rising in the Middle East, all of them linked to Iran.
