(Radio Farda) While the Iranian public has been demanding the closure of the holy shrine of Masoumeh in Qom out of concern for the coronavirus epidemic, the shrine's superintendent, cleric Mohammad Saeedi, insists that people should visit the shrine to seek a cure for coronavirus. Saeedi's office says the architecture of the shrine and its metal ornaments strongly protect everyone against viruses.

He ruled out imposing a quarantine on Qom at a meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, insisting that the coronavirus is a Western conspiracy to shut down the economy in Iran.
