Videos of a cleric giving coronavirus patients at a hospital in northern Iran a perfume to smell as a cure for the virus went viral on social media. The cleric was seen rubbing the perfume above two patients’ upper lip and telling them to smell it in one video. Mohsen Sharifi, one of several coronavirus patients visited by the cleric, died on Monday. The cleric has been identified and an arrest warrant has been issued for him, the official IRNA news agency said.
