Abstract :
Iran was one of the first and hardest hit countries by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The first patient was first detected on February 19 and as of May 27, 2020, 14 1591 confirmed COVID-19 patients and 7564 deaths have been reported.1 COVID-19 strained Iran’s already resource-limited healthcare system and led to shortages in personal protective equipment and healthcare staff.
