Iranian ‘Lick the Shrine’ Videos Boost Fears About Unprecedented Coronavirus Infection Level in Iran
Online videos are being shared in Iran of people licking and kissing a Muslim shrine to show they are not scared of the country’s growing coronavirus outbreak.
The videos, which have reportedly emerged from Iran’s coronavirus epicenter of Qom, show several devotees spreading misinformation about the virus, with some seemingly forcing their children to take part.
Some Iranians are defying advice by the Health Ministry to avoid touching or kissing surfaces of certain shrines, a common practice for pilgrims.
