Far from the capital, Iran struggles to bury virus victims

GHAEMSHAHR/IRAN: Deep in the lush valleys of northern Iran, where the Alborz Mountains crumble toward the sea, Ali Rahimi takes up his grisly work. 

Day in and day out, Rahimi, a 53-year-old volunteer cleric in the city of Ghaemshahr, puts on his hazmat suit and receives the deceased, disinfecting, washing and shrouding the dead bodies in white cloth.
