| Description | Iran's senior vice president and two other cabinet members have the new coronavirus, the semiofficial Fars news agency reported.
The news report on Wednesday comes amid days of speculation about the health of Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri, who has not been seen in images of recent top-level meetings.
Fars said other sick officials are Ali Asghar Mounesan, minister of cultural heritage, handicrafts and tourism, and Reza Rahmani, minister of industry, mines and business.
There was no immediate report on official state media about the infections.
Iran is among the world nations hardest-hit by the virus.
The death toll in Iran from the new coronavirus climbed for another consecutive day, killing 62 more people in the past 24 hours as the government on Wednesday raised the nationwide death toll to 354. |
