2020 COVID-19 outbreak

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran, on 25 February, Harirchi announced that he had been diagnosed with COVID-19, and had self-quarantined. Just the day before, parliamentarian Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani's claimed that 50 people had died in Qom from COVID-19, which Harirchi denied. At the press conference, Harirchi was coughing and sweating. On 12 March, Saeed Namaki noted that Iraj Harirchi had fully recovered from the virus.

During the COVID-19 pandemic he said that Iran opposed quarantines, because they belonged to an era before the First World War  – "to the plague, cholera, stuff like that". This statement was met with much criticism in universities as well as in social media.
