Behesht-e-Zahra

Behesht-e-Zahra is the largest cemetery in Iran, with more than 1.6 million graves. Located in the southern part of metropolitan Tehran, the cemetery has been rapidly expanding in recent weeks to meet the need for Coronavirus-related deaths — burying roughly 350 dead every day. Schools, mosques and shops are closed throughout Iran, and a curfew of 6:00 pm has been imposed to combat COVID-19, which state officials say is killing one Iranian every four minutes.
