So-called low-risk businesses — including many shops, factories and workshops — resumed operations in Tehran, a week after re-opening in the rest of the country, state television said.

“The fast is a religious necessity and a pillar of Islamic law and it is not permissible to abstain from fasting ...unless one has a rational belief that fasting may cause a sickness, worsen a disease or prolong it,” Khamenei said in the ruling published on his official website. Many government offices had already re-opened last week, with one-third of their staff working from home.
