Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force, warned of an increase in the number of people being hospitalized for coronavirus and hospitals reaching their full capacity. “In Tehran province alone, we have 5600 coronavirus patients hospitalized and there is a lesser number of people released than those entering the hospitals,” he said on Wednesday, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“For the fifth time in the past 510 days we have entered critical circumstances and crisis mode,” said the director of the Behesht-e Zahra Organization on Wednesday. This entity oversees Tehran’s largest cemetery. “Unfortunately, the Covid-19 death peak is escalating significantly in the city of Tehran, and we are currently in a very steep incline. In the coming days we will have major increases,” this official added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“The city of Karaj is witnessing a spread of the delta variant during the fifth peak. All restrictions imposed in Tehran province will also be implemented in this city,” said the mayor of Karaj on Wednesday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

In Sistan & Baluchistan, the member of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) from the city of Zabol, emphasized that the people of this province are contracting the delta variant. “The speed of this spread from one individual to another is less than 30 seconds. Unfortunately, people cannot afford to purchase masks or anti-disinfectants. Such supplies need to be provided to the people. To this day the government has not seen to the needs of this province as they should have, or they do not have enough information about this province,” he said on Wednesday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“[Hormozgan] province is facing a serious shortage in hospital beds, and they are opening room for coronavirus patients by releasing patients from the surgery and heart branches,” said the dean of Hormozgan Medical Sciences University on Wednesday. “The shortage of medical staff is among the problems this province is facing, and unfortunately they have not provided us with any new hired nurses,” this official added, according to the Mehr news agency, according to the Mehr news agency.
