“Conditions in Tehran are so dire that these statistics themselves indicate how dire the situation is, and there is no need distort or exaggerate anything in the news,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday. “We in Tehran have 8000 people hospitalized right now, which itself can be the most important and bitter of all reports. We have more than 20,000 people seeking initial medical care each day, which indicates how circumstances are constantly deteriorating. Tehran is a city that is currently hyper red and unfortunately all indicators are on the rise,” he added, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.
“The number of new cases in Tehran is significantly high and we have not seen such conditions in the past 16 months. The continuation of this trend is concerning because we don’t have an exact evaluation on to what extent this increase will continue,” said Nader Tavakoli, deputy chair of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday. “The number of people seeking medical care and the new cases is unprecedented. More than 20,000 people are seeking medical care, thus placing high pressure on the medical staff. Sixty percent of the hospital beds are allocated to Covid-19 patients, and we still don’t have a sense of peace in order to forecast the road ahead. 1500 of each 20,000 people are hospitalized, and each day the number of patients is rising with each passing day and new records are set. We don’t know until when this trend will continue,” he added, according to the Fars news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
“The consequences of the fifth peak are constantly getting worse. The number of people seeking initial medical care has increased in strange fashion. In the past few days, we have had record numbers of people hospitalized,” said the deputy head of Tehran’s Khomeini Hospital.

“Since last week we have had an average of 223 patients hospitalized per day. This increasing trend of patients is deeply concerning. Controlling coronavirus in [Golestan] province has become a twisted knot and catastrophic circumstances are in the making for this province,” said the dean of Golestan Medical Sciences University on Saturday, according to the Fars news agency.
“We currently have 1425 coronavirus patients hospitalized, 220 in ICUs and 70 under ventilators. In all our hospitals we have coronavirus patients hospitalized,” said the dean of Kerman Medical Sciences University on Saturday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“During the past 24 hours 363 new coronavirus patients have been hospitalized and currently the total stands at 2502, of which 280 are in ICUs,” said the deputy dean of Shiraz Medical Sciences University, according to the Fars news agency.

In Semnan province the number of people seeking medical care in comparison to this period last year has increased by seven-fold and no significant measure has been taken by regime officials to respond to this dilemma, according to a Saturday report wired by the Mehr news agency.
