The bootleg alcohol has killed seven more people in the northern region of Alborz and one in Kermanshah, western Iran.
Jundishapur medical university in Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan, has seen more than 200 people hospitalized for poisoning, front man Ali Ehsanpour told the state agency, according to AFP. The cases were caused by "rumors that drinking alcohol can be effective in treating coronavirus," Ehsanpour confirmed.
The unknown nature of the new coronavirus has sparked a series of wildly inaccurate rumors ‐ with many even initially thinking its name meant it was connected to Corona beer.
