“Currently we have more than 10,000 cases of people seeking medical care for Covid-19 symptoms. The number of people being hospitalized on a daily basis is around 1400. We are still in the peak of this illness and may not be relieved of these circumstances for another month,” said Nader Tavakoli, deputy chief of Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Friday. “Right now, we are faced with an increase in the number of people seeking initial medical care for coronavirus symptoms, and for another two weeks the number of people being hospitalized will increase. In fact, the increasing trend may not be significant but in the capital, we will not have a major decrease in the number of people hospitalized and those seeking initial medical care. In Tehran we have reached the peak of this illness, an issue that we are concerned about is a jump in the numbers. Of course, we have yet to identify the Iranian variant. However, considering the increasing trend of the transfer of this virus, a mutation is also very possible,” he added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
