Some 58 from the total number have been hospitalized, Majid Mohebbi, the director general of the crisis management center in the province, told IRNA on Sunday.
According to the official, the incident happened after a new wave of wind that lifted sand and dust and caused storms in several counties of the province since four days ago.
He further referred to heart and lung problems including problems in the eyes as the main reasons led people to go to hospitals.
