After the COVID-19 outbreak in Iran the lifestyle of people changed, and different medical and relief groups were deployed to prevent the pandemic. Children were also under severe threat, especially those living in less advantaged and marginal areas lacking the primary facilities to protect themselves against the virus.

Including the measures to identify and prevent this outbreak in its early stages, were thermometry and disinfection of houses and neighborhoods, especially in the suburbs of large cities.
