Iranian lawmaker says he has tested positive for coronavirus
Iranian MP Mahmoud Sadeghi says he has tested positive for COVID-19, hours after the country’s deputy health minister was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus.
Sadeghi, an anti-government reformist, says in a tweet in Persian that he has “little hope of living in this world,” indicating he doesn’t believe he will survive. He adds a demand that “political prisoners” and their families be allowed to “leave the epidemic to prevent the outbreak.”
