Iran warned of a “rising trend” in its coronavirus outbreak as it said 1,680 new infections took its overall caseload beyond the 100,000 mark, AFP reported.
“We are witnessing a rising trend in the past three or four days, which is significant,” health ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour told a televised news conference.
The rise was “based on our behaviour, especially in the past two weeks, considering that a part of society has apparently had a change of attitude,” he added.
Jahanpour said the spike in cases could be due to an increase in movement across cities and unnecessary travel.
