"I had a fever as of last night and my preliminary test was positive around midnight," Mr Harirchi said in a video released on Tuesday.
"I've isolated myself in a place since... and now I am starting medication.
"We will definitely be victorious against this virus in the next few weeks," the minister added.
Mr Harirchi's positive test for Covid-19 was announced a day
after he took part in a news conference, where he coughed occasionally and appeared to sweat heavily.
During the briefing, the minister denied a claim by a member of parliament for Qom - the centre of the outbreak - that the authorities were engaged in a cover-up.
