“Back in March I said that we will concede a goal at the 90th minute [referring to a 90-minute football/soccer match]. This is a complicated virus and it has mutated in a unique manner. Its characteristics have changed and become very contagious,” said Health Minister Saied Namaki on Sunday, according to state TV.
“Only three percent of the population has contracted the virus and 97 percent are healthy and clean,” said Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli on Monday. “We are completely focused to provide care for that three percent so that the remaining 97 percent can live their lives normally. Due to that three percent we have restricted commuting, closed stores and imposed other restrictions,” he added, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
The spokesperson of the Isfahan Medical Sciences University reported 37 people have died of Covid-19 in the past 24 hours. “The total number of people hospitalized stands at 1659, of whom 373 are in ICUs.

“The increasing trend of Covid-19 among our population continues and 569 Covid-19 patients are hospitalized in our medical centers,” said the dean of Golestan Medical Sciences University on Monday. “114 patients are in ICUs and 57 are under ventilators. Furthermore, during the past 24 hours 13 patients have died of Covid-19,” the official added, according to the Mehr news agency.
“With an increase in people seeking medical treatment and being hospitalized, and our medical infrastructure not being ready, some of our hospitals lack oxygen devices,” said dean of Markazi Medical Sciences University on Sunday.
“65 percent of the beds allocated to coronavirus beds are occupied. In the past seven to ten days we have been witnessing a severe increase in the number of new cases and people hospitalized, and as a result dire patients in ICUs,” said the dean of Zahedan Medical Sciences University in Sistan & Baluchistan province on Sunday. “For this reason currently there is a continuous number of people dying and these numbers will increase in the coming seven or ten days,” the official added on Sunday, according to the Javan daily, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
“Some of the payments and benefits that should have been provided to our nurses years ago have still not been realized,” said a senior medical official in Razavi Khorasan province on Monday. “Currently some of this has been provided to nurses in our province. However, these payments are not at all up to date and despite the fact that nine months have passed in the [Iranian calendar] year, still last year’s benefits have not been delivered. Around the world there are 4.5 nurses for each bed. This standard in Iran falls to 2.5 nurses and around 1.1 nurses in the city of Mashhad,” the official added, according to the Shahr-e Ar News website.
