A 78-year-old member of the Iranian clerical body that chooses the country's supreme-leader has died from the illness caused by the new-coronavirus, news-agencies reported. He was the latest of several senior-Iranian-officials to have been infected in the worsening outbreak. The outbreak has infected nearly 14,000-people in Iran and killed more than 700, with the toll-jumping by more than a hundred in the last 24-hours.
