KATHMANDU: The death toll from coronavirus has reached  210 in Iran BBC quoted the country’s health system as saying.

Most of the victims are from the capital, Tehran, and the city of Qom, where cases of Covid-19 first emerged.

The figure is six times higher than the official death toll of 34 given by the health ministry earlier on Friday.
