During theCOVID-19 pandemic in Iran, Saeed Namaki held a special parliamentary session on 25 February 2020 which included parliamentarianAhmad Amirabadi, who had claimed a day earlier that Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME)COVID-19 death statistics were vastly underestimated, with 50 deaths inQom rather than the official count of 12 deaths in the whole of Iran. Staff testing body temperatures prior to the meeting requested Amirabadi and two other members of parliament to excuse themselves from the meeting and self-quarantine. All three declined the request and participated in the meeting with Saeed Namaki.[2][3]
