for six days but the roads were not. i they did not shut down funeral services or public gatherings. when you close the market, people go somewhere else. the situation does not change by closing down. the delta variant is partly to blame. but iran's vaccine programme has also failed to meet its targets. iran's supreme leader banned the import of vaccines made in the us and uk, opting for others instead. and while officials insist that iran's own vaccine is effective, there is no public data to prove it. looking at the figures, despite a population of more than 80 million, just overfive million have received both doses. judging by the number of iranians who are able to leave the country to go to the caucuses and obtain vaccines produced in the west, there is ample evidence that iranians themselves do not trust the vaccines produced in country. the government vowed to import more vaccine.
