Iranian Health Minister Saeed Namaki said today, Tuesday, that Iran has recorded the first infection with a new mutated and highly contagious strain of the Corona virus that had appeared in Britain and infected an Iranian returning from there.
“Unfortunately, we detected the first case of mutated Covid-19 in Britain, among a dear citizen returning from England … and he was transferred to one of our private hospitals,” Namaki told state television.
He added, “We did not find any trace of the virus among the patient’s relatives.”
