“A 26.5 percent rise in the number of new cases per day across Iran indicates the virus continues to be active throughout the country and is resulting in various waves. This can cause new problems for the entire nation,” according to a Monday report wired by the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force. “Weekly stats indicate that considering the mutated variant’s significant activity in the south and southeast portions of Iran, the increasing trend of new cases in these areas and neighboring cities and towns has resulted in circumstances that can ignite a new crisis, or a fifth peak,” the report adds.

“Kerman province has yet to surpass the fourth peak and remains engaged with the problems resulting from this illness,” said the deputy dean of Kerman Medical Sciences University on Monday. All ventilators are in use, said the deputy dean of Jiroft Medical Sciences University on Monday, adding the southern areas of Kerman province have entered a new wave of this illness. All the while, health officials in eastern areas of Kerman province are reporting an increasing number of coronavirus cases in Kerman’s eastern cities, especially Rigan, this official added, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

Currently we have 669 coronavirus patients hospitalized and 9587 quarantined at home,” said the spokesperson of Hormozgan Medical Sciences University on Monday, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.

“The fifth peak that will unfortunately engulf us we will be dealing with the dealing with the Delta variant (which is extremely dangerous and even those who had contracted the virus before and been vaccinated are not fully immune). Sooner or later [Markazi] province will be facing a crisis. Since last week the number of people seeking initial medical care for Covid-19 symptoms has increased,” said the dean of Arak Medical Sciences University on Monday, according to the IRGC-linked Fars news agency.
