NEW DELHI: Even as the government confirmed one Indian death in Iran due to Covid-19 , Dammu Ravi, additional secretary, MEA said the diplomats and staff of the Indian embassy in Iran had been tested as a precautionary measure and found negative.Asserting that the Indian ambassador to Iran, Gaddam Dharmendra was in full control, Ravi said a “wellness” facility had been commandeered in Qom where the positive tested Indian nationals were being cared for. Ravi said India was focusing on bringing people back from Iran. “Lots of work has been done. We have evacuated many. “At some stage, he said, the government hoped those tested positive would have recovered enough to be brought back.The PM, he said, was monitoring the situation on a regular basis. Both MEA and the Bureau of immigration, he had, have set up 24/7 helplines to assist people in distress, with separate people handling issues from specific countries.“We’re increasing the number of people in the control room to respond to specific queries coming from specific countries.”In Italy, he said, the Indian medical team brought back 380 samples, out of which 376 was negative while four were positive. While the embassy had set up a testing centre in Rome, the lockdown had made it difficult to get the Indian medical team to Milan in Lombardy province.Acknowledging two pressing issues — of students left stranded by airlines in airports and the difficulty of getting medical certificates — Ravi said these were being addressed by and by.
