"Iran's health system is strong and ready to deal with exacerbation of the virus infection," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday on state television, claiming that they are ready for a possible surge in the number of infections.

Iran is among the countries severely affected by the epidemic. The state health ministry reported today that 139 people died in the past day, so that since the outbreak of the epidemic, a total of 2,517 deaths have occurred. The total number of patients now is 32,332.

Only yesterday did opposition organizations in the country claim that the regime is deceiving and hiding the real numbers. The leftist opposition Mujahideen Part, which has many underground activists across the country, claims to have conducted a separate count of the victims of the plague in the Islamic Republic, and that the results were far more severe than what Tehran is willing to admit.

At the same time, Tokyo is registering an increase in the number of infections. Japan's authorities today reported 60 new infections in the capital alone. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koiak has asked tens of millions of residents of the city and surrounding areas to avoid non-essential and urgent exits from home by April 12, hoping to stop the wave of infection. She said Tokyo is now on the verge of an emergency.
