Iran announced 200 more deaths from the coronavirus, the most in a single day since the Middle East's deadliest outbreak began in February, according to AFP.
“Unfortunately in the past 24 hours we have lost 200 of our compatriots, bringing the total number of victims to 11,931,” health ministry spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari said on state television.
“The increase in the number of deaths is very painful for all of us,” she said, adding that it was “the result of all of our behaviour and actions”.
