The Iranian authorities have designated hospitals for the treatment of Corona Virus Disease in every major city. For convenience of our community members, some of the hospitals are mentioned. In case of any suspicion of contracting the disease or development of any symptoms such as severe cough, sneeze, fever etc., it is advised to visit these hospitals designated for Corona Virus Disease testing and cooperate with local health authorities and also share the complete information with Pakistan Embassy Tehran.

• Frequently clean hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water;
When coughing and sneezing cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue; it should be immediately followed by disposing-off the tissue and washing hands;
