Iran National Committee on Combating Coronavirus has declared that some 132 cities in the country fall under the 'white status' (low threat of coronavirus), but the assessment isn't stable and may change, so the government is constantly monitoring and evaluating the situation, said the spokesman of Iran's government Ali Rabiee, Trend reports via IRNA.

"The mosques have re-opened in 'low-risk' cities, and Friday prayers are to be held there, with maintained health protocols," he said.

Rabiee added that sports complexes are still closed in the mentioned cities.

“The schools in those 132 cities were scheduled to re-open on May 9, but the president postponed the date to May 16,” he said.

The outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan - which is an international transport hub - began at a fish market in late December 2019.
