“Right now, we are reentering warlike conditions. If only I could show you some footage of our emergency branch. During the past 24 hours we have had 2,000 people coming into the hospital,” said the director general of Tehran’s Milad Hospital on Wednesday. “Right now, we have launched a field hospital inside a tent in the emergency branch’s courtyard. Conditions are extremely poor, and we are still on the rise right now. I am feeling the threat as we speak that our highly equipped, 1,000-bed hospital will not be able to respond to the upcoming conditions. The number of people seeking initial medical care and the daily death rate are both remarkably high,” this official added, according to state TV.

“It appears that in the coming weeks we will be witnessing the most intensive peak of the past 18 months in Tehran… and we may see various developments that we did not see in the previous peak,” said the head of Tehran’s Rasoul-e Akram Hospital on Wednesday.

 

 

“We are expecting the Health Ministry to provide the vaccine for people above the age of 50 being in the utmost priority. However, there has been no such ration,” said the governor of Kerman province on Thursday, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency. Kerman province has the worst conditions after the neighboring province of Sistan & Baluchistan province, he added.

“Coronavirus conditions in numerous cities of Sistan & Baluchistan province has to be designated as black. Considering the increasing trend of new cases, we are asking the Health Minister to establish temporary hospitals in our areas,” said a member of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) on Thursday, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.

“The number of coronavirus patients hospitalized in the past two weeks have tripled in the city of Gorgan,” said the local mayor on Thursday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

“In the past 24 hours we have identified 1329 new patients. Currently we have 1358 coronavirus patients hospitalized, of which 188 are in ICUs,” said the spokesperson of the Isfahan Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the Mehr news agency.
