Tehran, March 19, IRNA – Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom has described Iran's national campaign to fight the deadly coronavirus as great.

Adhanom made the description while speaking to Iran's Minister of Health and Medical Education Saeed Namaki.

To control the outbreak of the coronavirus, self-declaration will be a great help, Adhanom noted.
