“If we cannot break the Covid-19 chain reaction, in the coming months we will be facing serious issues. A very harsh winter is already forecasted as we enter the month of December,” said the Alborz province Labor Council chief on Friday. “Currently the hospital medical staff are severely fatigued. Even though we suggested 3000 nurses be hired and new recruits be added, I believe even this will not be enough. Hospitals are filled with coronavirus patients and it has been a few weeks since the daily death toll has not dropped below the 450 mark,” the official added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
