Coronavirus stops Iran series shooting

Iranian series ‘Doping’ has halted shooting of remaining episodes due to coronavirus.

The series directed by Reza Maghsoudi costars Hadi Hejazifar, Shabnam Moqaddami, Elnaz Habibi, Nima Shabannejad and Mohammad Bahrani.

The TV production was slated to run for 30 parts; however, the killer virus pushed the shooting to be wrapped up before the scheduled time frame.

The project's shooting stage came to an end with just a scene filmed on the street.

Iran's death toll from the coronavirus outbreak climbed to 3,452 on Saturday, with 158 more fatalities recorded over the past 24 hours, Iran Health Ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour said.
