The regime’s Health Ministry announced the mullahs’ engineered Covid-19 numbers from the past 24 hours on Wednesday as 129 deaths and 10,487 new cases, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency. Furthermore, 3346 patients are in ICUs and 1315 of the new cases have been hospitalized.
“The recovery trend in Tehran is terribly slow. A review of the stats indicates the recover is relatively slow in comparison to other provinces,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Wednesday, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
“This difference in the numbers provided by two deputy ministers indicates that our stats are actually two or two-and-a-half times higher. Do we truly have 82,000 coronavirus deaths? Or is it two-and-a-half times higher, meaning 160,000 to 200,000? So, we have wrong stats and providing wrong reports to the world,” said an ICU expert in Tehran’s Masih Daneshvari Hospital on Monday, according to state TV.
“During the past 24 hours we have had more than 1000 positive cases. The number of people hospitalized reach 500 during the previous peak. It has now reached 700, taking up the entire capacity of all our hospitals across the province,” said the dean of Hormozgan Medical Sciences University on Wednesday, according to the IRGC-linked Fars news agency.
In Isfahan province the number of new Covid-19 patients per day remains higher than those released from hospitals. “During the past 24 hours 201 new coronavirus patients were hospitalized, while during this period 140 coronavirus patients were released,” said the spokesperson of the Isfahan Medical Sciences University on Wednesday.
Dean of West Azerbaijan Medical Sciences University said on Wednesday the number of new cases and those being hospitalized for coronavirus is on the rise, according to the semi-official ILNA news agency.
