As the below graph of the global cases as of Sunday reveals, efforts to prevent the global spread of COVID-19 have not succeeded. Now the world waits to find out how bad it will get, and how fast. Iran’s outbreak may be even worse, endangering the entire Middle East Since last Tuesday, Iran’s government has reported 61 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 12 deaths — the highest death toll outside of China. But there is reason to believe the real size of the outbreak is much larger, and that Iran’s government has not only mismanaged its response, but may have hid the escalating epidemic from both Iranians and the world.
The holy city of Qom has been the hardest hit, with at least 26 reported cases of the coronavirus. On Monday, a semi-official news agency in the country reported that a member of Iran’s parliament from Qom had announced that at least 50 people had already died in the outbreak — more than four times what Iran has reported. He also claimed that 250 people were already quarantined in Qom and that the outbreak started six days before Iran says it did. The Islamic Republic has denied the report.
