Iran has confirmed 10 new cases of COVID-19, one of whom died on Saturday, bringing the death toll to five. 28 Iranians have been infected and the country's health ministry said that the disease has spread to several cities. 

Jack Barton told CGTN the government believed coronavirus has spread to all major populated areas of the country as religious gatherings have been suspended in certain parts of the country and the supply of face masks is running out forcing street prices up.
