“We advise all people to avoid leaving their homes and traveling as much as possible,” Rouhani said on Monday.
Rouhani had said on February 25 that “everything will go back to normal as of February 29.” He had also been firmly against implementing a lockdown on Iranian cities amid the coronavirus outbreak.
