Evidence/Justification: The rules of the second phase of social distancing movement (smart social distancing) were defined and announced as a following intervention after the first phase with the aim of slowing down the rising pace of corona viruses in Iran. In this step, more than 80 working protocols were developed and published on the Ministry of Health and Education official website demanding all business owners to register and obey the protocols in order to be able to re-initiate and continue their tasks. Mass gatherings (formal or informal) including weekly Friday prayers, are still canceled (with the exception of “white status” provinces which have no confirmed corona virus cases in the last week) and people are being informed not to participate in such occasions till the end of regulations. The second phase is still in force.
