“Each day between 19,000 to 20,000 people across Tehran are seeking initial medical attention for Covid-19 symptoms. This is a high figure. Up to this morning we had 2600 patients in the ICU sections of Tehran’s hospitals,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Tuesday, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“The fifth peak has been the worst to this day. In the previous peaks we had a maximum of 9000 patients hospitalized. During the current peak, however, we have reached the 10,000 mark… and we are heading to conditions where we will need to launch field hospitals,” said Nader Tavakoli, deputy chair of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Tuesday, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.
“The number od daily deaths in Tehran has surpassed the 150 mark and the six-day shutdown had a negative impact,” said Tehran City Council chief Mehdi Hashemi on Tuesday, according to the semi-official ILNA news agency.
“We have around 200 coronavirus patients packed in our ICU, emergency and other branches… of course, these are only the patients in dire conditions and need to be hospitalized. The load of this illness, in comparison to the previous peaks, has tripled and even quadrupled. If the number of patients increases, they will have to wait behind hospital doors,” said the head of Tehran’s Sina Hospital on Tuesday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“The numbers of new cases, those being hospitalized, and daily deaths are all escalating. The daily death toll in Razavi Khorasan province, especially in the city of Mashhad, is increasing to more than 30 per day,” according to a statement released by the Mashhad Medical Sciences University on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the dean of Shiraz Medical Sciences University in Fars province requested an all-out shutdown. “The number of deaths in the past 24 hours was an unprecedented record in the past few months, and the number of patients in need of ICU attention is rising,” this official explained, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

“The number of coronavirus patients hospitalized has reached the 900 mark, of which 160 are in dire conditions. A number are in ICUs and a number of others are waiting for ICUs to become available,” said the deputy dean of Gilan Medical Sciences University on Tuesday, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
“The new peak of this illness has led to our hospitals running out of available beds, making providing medical care to patients a very difficult task,” according to a statement released by the Babol Medical Sciences Organization on Tuesday. “Even if new beds are added, we will not have experienced staff available, and the ability of our current staff is deteriorating day by day due to extreme physical and psychological fatigue. Soon the number of dire patients waiting behind hospital entrances for empty beds to become available will increase.”
