While as a results of the regime’s inhumane policies only an exceedingly small percentage of the people in Iran have been vaccinated, regime President Hassan Rouhani once again resorted to preposterous remarks.
“We will have at least five indigenous vaccines… We are now among the countries who have made their own vaccines… In a few months we will even be able to export, meaning having enough for our domestic needs and exporting,” Rouhani said on Saturday. “This Nowruz (Persian calendar new year back in March) we did not have many problems. The UK strain caused us some issues… We are now facing the Indian variant and we will be facing a new virus in the future,” he added.
“We currently have 22 red cities, 175 orange and 251 yellow cities. The red cities are mainly in the provinces of Bushehr, Sistan & Baluchistan, Kerman, and Hormozgan,” said Alireza Raisi, spokesperson of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“During the past week we had an average of 9616 new cases per day while the week before it was 8287. The number of red cities is rising gradually,” according to a Saturday report published by the state-run Arman daily.
“All the new cases are of the UK variant and [Sistan & Baluchistan] province is currently above the warning conditions. We are concerned about accepting new patients,” said the deputy dean of Zahedan Medical Sciences University on Saturday. “The highest number of new cases per day in the previous peak was 300. However, the current peak we are seeing 700 new cases per day. During the next one or two days all our hospital beds will be filled with patients,” this official added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
