Abadan County (Persian: شهرستان آبادان) is in Khuzestan province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Abadan, on Abadan Island.[3]

On May 11, 2020, Iran imposed a COVID-19 lockdown in Abadan County. All shops and offices in the county, except essential services, closed during this period. Authorities also closed access to Abadan from the Ahvaz and Bandar Mahshahr points of entry. These restrictions would expire on May 25.[5]
