During a live briefing on Instagram April 14, Iran's health minister, Saeed Namaki, showed a photo he said was of an Iranian nurse with sores on her face from wearing masks all day long. He praised Iranian medical workers for their courage in facing the Covid-19 crisis, contrasting them with doctors and nurses in other countries who "have taken to the streets" as soon as they don’t have enough equipment. But there was a problem: the woman he showed is indeed a nurse fighting the virus, but in Brazil, not Iran.
