“The main entity responsible to control coronavirus in Iran is the government. During the past 16 months the government and the Health Ministry have failed in their duties and not been successful in controlling the virus,” said a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Sunday. “With the continuation of such measures and behavior one comes to believe there was a deliberate nature. To this day no serious quarantine measures have been imposed across the country or Tehran. Lack of follow ups and control of coronavirus in our country has become deliberate. People cannot wait until the domestic vaccine reaches mass production, and the government must immediately procure approved vaccines. Otherwise, we will lose many lives,” this official added, according to the Jahan-e San’at daily.

There are currently 4800 people hospitalized across the province,” he added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“Tehran has entered the fifth peak because we currently have 470 people entering the hospital on a daily basis,” said a senior official of Tehran’s renowned Masih Daneshvari Hospital on Sunday. “The months of May and June provided the best opportunity for vaccination, and we lost our chance,” this official adds, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
