RNA – During these fateful days wherein the country is suffering from COVID-19 (Coronavirus), many religious scholars and clerics are advising the people in relation with this virus and to accompany the authorities in order to eradicate the epidemic.

These days, the Coronavirus has become the world’s foremost subject in the media, as well as the subject of the people’s discussions around the world and is a contention that has engulfed many parts of society.

The magnitude of this great humanitarian catastrophe has affected nearly 125 countries and is increasing day by day throughout the world.

However, research and medical teams continue to work to contain the deadly virus worldwide, and this epidemic will undoubtedly be contained in the near future, but it will take time.

Iran is also known for being one of the countries with the highest incidence of the virus and unfortunately since the outbreak of the virus, we have witnessed that approximately 14,000 Iranians have been infected and more than 420 deaths.

Therefore, it requires that the society and the people, along with the government and the Islamic system of government, have a smart response to the virus so that we may witness the eradication of the virus in the country and the world.

However, the people have the most important role in the fight against the Coronavirus and without doubt, the failure of the people to accompany them can never help the authorities and the government officials to overcome this virus.

In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad-Hoseyn Shahroudi, a representative of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Kordestan province [Ayatollah Khamenei] said, “Iran and Iranian society are having a very difficult and difficult time and we are witnessing the efforts of the health sector in the country.”

His Eminence added, “However, reason dictates that we obey all hygienic and safety recommendations and health warnings against this virus.”

Ayatollah Shahroudi continued, “People must be able to lead and manage part of this crucial and fateful struggle with the support of health officials. Therefore, staying in our homes to prevent the spread of the disease during this time will undoubtedly play an important role in eradicating the disease.”
