“Currently we have entered a new phase. Several new mutations have entered the country. One is the Indian variant that we have identified in the provinces of Bushehr, Hormozgan, Yazd, West Azerbaijan and Qom,” said regime Health Minister Saied Namaki on Tuesday. “In Bandar Abbas, Kushkenar and Omani we have identified the South African variant. We also have the Californian-Indian variant. In addition to foreign mutations each of our own provinces may have their own mutations. We need to be careful about foreign and domestic mutations,” he added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
Deputy Health Minister Gahasem Jan-babie acknowledged on Tuesday that several people have died after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. However, he did not say which vaccine they had received. “The reports about deaths following vaccinations are being evaluated, especially their medical backgrounds, in Scientific Committees of our Medical Sciences universities and the Health Ministry. Reports will be issued after analysis. The number of people seeking medical care in our hospitals are nearly twice the previous peak. The number of youths contracting the virus has tripled and in most provinces 80 percent of the cases are of the UK variant,” he added, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
“More than 100,000 nurses have contracted the virus and 120 have lost their lives. The main problem is the shortage in the number of nurses and despite the fact that 53,000 have licenses and are ready to be hired, only 3,000 nurses were actually employed,” said the head of the Nursing Apparatus Organization on Tuesday. “Usually, we have around 6,000 to 7,000 nurses on medical leave due to contracting Covid-19, being quarantined or other reasons… around 5,000 nurses [in Tehran alone] have registered in the Nursing Apparatus Organization website that they have yet to be vaccinated,” this official added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“The situation in Tehran has not changed much and despite the fact that the number of coronavirus patients hospitalized has decreased, we are still considered a red zone and things are changing at a very slow rate,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Monday. “7600 coronavirus patients were hospitalized, and 1120 new patients have been added,” he added, according to the state-run Daneshju news agency.
“Still, we have 1400 to 1700 people hospitalized on a daily basis across the province,” the governor of Tehran province on Monday, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
