Iranair an Iranian Air agency owned by the government cancelled their flights to Kuala Lumpur, and Iranian football (soccer) medics told their team to not to fly to Hong Kong , Singapore, Canada, Vietnam, China and Taiwan. All the panics of SARS in Iran got to Majlis Iranian Legislature. In Iran after all the panics because of the WAR and the SARS some Iranian after the warnings of Iranian Health they went to Far east for heir new year vacations Nourouz. There has been a lot of things been going on because of SARS in Iran, some doctors said more actions should be done to defeat SARS before it even comes here.
