But the situation has worsened elsewhere with nearly 2,700 other cases.\r\n\r\nIn Iran, the virus first showed up in the north-central city of Qom, a destination for Muslim pilgrims from across the world. In all, the spread has taken 26 lives across the country and infected as many as 245 others, most of them in Qom.\r\n\r\n ","content_html":"
