Iran's Health Ministry said on Friday that the virus-hit country was no longer at "red" status as it announced another 93 deaths from its COVID-19 outbreak. Ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour said the novel coronavirus fatalities recorded in the past 24 hours took Iran's overall death toll to 5,574. Jahanpour also announced 1,168 new cases of coronavirus infection, taking the country's total to 88,194. But he said that 66,596 patients had been released from hospital after recovering from the illness. "None of our provinces are in the red, but warnings remain, and the situation will not be considered normal at all," he tweeted.
