Some 50 members of Irans 290-seat parliament have contracted Covid-19, Reuters quoted a senior MP as saying, with the Omicron variant spreading unabated across the county.
MP Alireza Salimi, speaking to YJC, a news agency linked to Iran's state TV, said this week's parliamentary session would be held in accordance with health regulations.
Iran has seen a surge in cases after a brief respite following mass vaccinations. In recent days it has reported an average of more than 30,000 new infections a day.
