Iran’s government vowed Monday to be transparent after being accused of covering up the deadliest coronavirus outbreak outside China, dismissing claims the toll could be as high as 50. The government said on Monday that Iran’s coronavirus death toll had jumped by four to 12 — by far the highest outside China — as its neighbours closed their borders and imposed strict quarantine measures. The ILNA news agency, which is close to reformists, said the lawmaker spoke of “50 deaths” in Qom alone.
