“The winter peak is a different issue and we are concerned about it due to the fact that, especially in southern provinces, consisting of around 20 or so million people, and in the northern provinces of Mazandaran and Gilan we are seeing signs of a new wave beginning,” said Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi on Saturday. “Areas such as Tehran, the Azarbaijan provinces in northwest and Khorasan provinces in the northeast, where the cold season has already begun, there are a number of people contracting the virus and their conditions may worsen,” he added, according to state TV.
“Tehran remains in disturbing circumstances. Despite the fact that it appears we are in better conditions in comparison to recent weeks, today we had 500 new patients hospitalized, of which 135 were directly sent to the ICUs,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday. “Over 4500 patients have been hospitalized across the province during the past 24 hours. Circumstances remain fragile and extremely concerning, showing we should not consider the status quo as improved or unfaltering. While the illness is deteriorating, we may witness a more severe return and even stronger waves,” he added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“Our circumstances are fragile, and we are truly on a very thin line between being considered a red or red-orange or orange zone,” said Tehran City Council chief Mohsen Hashemi on Saturday. “I checked the numbers today and around 100 deaths were reported in the Beheshte Zahra Cemetery. All were Covid-19 patients,” he added, according to state TV.
