DUBAI - President Hassan Rouhani urged Iranians to continue to respect measures to guard against the new coronavirus as"low-risk" business activities resumed in most of the country on Saturday, state news agency IRNA reported.
Many government offices also re-opened, with two-thirds of their staff to reduce crowding. In Qom, a city of 1.2 million which was the early epicentre of Iran's coronavirus outbreak, some 24,000 businesses were expected to re-open, state TV said.
