"Previously the production of fans in the country was 5 devices per day now the production has increased to 40," said Yousefi.
"Three manufacturing companies in the country have already provided 1,000 fans since the start of the pandemic," he added.
"We have reached the conclusion that there is no need for import, while 1,200 ICU beds are to be equipped by mid-May," he said.
