TEHRAN (AFP) ― Two people have died in Iran after testing positive on Wednesday for the new coronavirus, the health ministry said, in the Islamic republic's first cases of the disease.

이란 보건부가 신종 코로나바이러스에 대한 양성반응을 보인 환자 2명이 사망했다고 밝혔다.


According to YJC news agency, a branch of state television, the pair who died were Iranian citizens and residents of the holy city of Qom.

이란의 국영 방송사 YJC통신에 따르면 숨진 환자들은 이란 국민으로 이슬람 종교 도시 곰의 주민들로 밝혀졌다.


They are also the first deaths from the COVID-19 virus in the Middle East and only the seventh and eighth outside China, where the outbreak has killed more than 2,100 people.

그들은 또한 COVID-19 바이러스로 인한 중동 내 첫 사망자로, 2100명 이상의 사망자를 낸 중국 외 국가에서는 7번째와 8번째 사망자에 불과하다.


State news agency IRNA quoted Kianoush Jahanpour, a ministry spokesman, as saying the virus was detected in two elderly people with immunity problems in Qom, south of the Iranian capital.

이란의 국영 통신사 IRNA는 키아누쉬 자한푸어 대변인의 말을 인용해 이란 수도 남쪽 도시 곰에서 면역 문제가 있는 노인 2명에게 코로나바이러스가 검출됐다고 전했다.


"Following the recent cases of chronic respiratory diseases in Qom, two of the patients tested positive in preliminary tests," it quoted him as saying. "Unfortunately both passed away in the intensive care unit due to old age and issues with their immune system."

IRNA는 "최근 곰에서 만성 호흡기 질환이 발생한 데 이어 두 명의 환자가 코로나바이러스 검사에서 양성 반응을 보였다"라는 대변인의 말을 인용하며 "불행히도 둘 다 노령과 면역 체계 문제로 중환자실에서 사망했다"고 밝혔다.


IRNA had earlier quoted Jahanpour as saying that the "new coronavirus" had been confirmed in two people and that other suspected cases were isolated.

IRNA는 이에 앞서 자한푸어 대변인의 말을 인용해 '신종 코로나바이러스'가 두 환자에게서 확인됐고 다른 의심환자들은 격리된 상태라고 전했다.
