“The number of red cities is a threat for another rise of the illness and a fifth wave in the coming weeks,” according to a Friday report wired by the regime’s official IRNA news agency. Based on the statement made by the Health Ministry, there are 16 red cities. “201 cities are orange and 231 are yellow. Some of the red cities are facing a spread of the Indian and South African variants,” the reports adds.
“We are forecasting that if we have a fifth coronavirus wave it will be due to the Indian variant,” said a senior member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Friday, according to the state-run Khabar Online website.

The fifth peak “may materialize in the coming months. This depends on us and how far we are able to extend the vaccination coverage,” said the head of the regime’s Epidemiology Committee on Friday. “We need to accelerate the vaccination process and reach 400,000 vaccine doses per day in order to establish herd immunity. Some countries have had three peaks, but we even had a fourth peak. Therefore, we are very prone to have a fifth peak, especially since new variants have entered the country,” this official added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“During the past 24 hours the coronavirus death toll in Qazvin Province has increase by nine-fold in comparison to the previous day. This was quite unexpected,” said the dean of Qazvin Medical Sciences University on Friday, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
“14 cities and towns in [Isfahan] province, including the city of Isfahan, are considered orange zones. There is no blue or white city, and coronavirus remains prone to attack all of our residents,” said the spokesperson of Isfahan Medical Sciences University on Friday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
“Four new cities have been added to the other red cities, reaching a total of ten red cities [in Hormozgan province]. Currently we have 566 patients hospitalized and 73 in ICUs,” said the spokesperson of Hormozgan Medical Sciences University on Friday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“We are expecting dark coronavirus days in the city of Rudan,” said the mayor of this city in Hormozgan province on Friday, according to the IRGC-linked Fars news agency.
