“In some provinces such as Tehran, Hormozgan, Kerman, and Alborz the status quo is very dangerous, and the number of patients accepted by the hospitals is beyond their capacity. In various facilities, such as Tehran’s Khomeini Hospital, we have 550 coronavirus patients while the entire hospital has 1000 beds while they are required to provide medical care to cancer, heart, and accident patients,” said Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi on Thursday, according to the regime’s IRIB news agency.
“The northern provinces are experiencing the direst coronavirus conditions; the provinces of Mazandaran, Gilan, and Golestan are considered ‘black zones’ and the hospitals have reached their full capacities,” according to a Thursday piece wired by the IRIB news agency.
“Coronavirus will not dampen easily. We will not be reaching a desired status any time soon. Signs of the delta variant are seen in 70 percent of those who have contracted Covid-19,” said the head of Tehran’s Beheshti University Virology Research Center on Thursday, according to the Fars news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
“In the fifth peak the number of people seeking initial medical care for Covid-19 symptoms has tripled and each day we have 600 such people come into our medical centers. We are running out of empty beds and even ICUs beds allocated for children are being used for coronavirus patients,” said the head of Imam Ali Hospital in the city of Karaj on Thursday, according to the Hamshahri daily.

“In the past 24 hours we have hospitalized another 1700 people while 1400 patients were released. To decrease the pressure on our hospitals we are providing medical care to around 1200 patients in temporary branches,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Thursday, according to the state-run Aftab News website.
“Golestan province has a capacity of hospitalizing 1500 coronavirus patients. We are very close to this mark and the number of empty beds is decreasing. Furthermore, the medical staff is more fatigued than ever before,” said the dean of Golestan Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the IRIB news agency.
“We are experiencing extremely difficult days. More than 500 new patients have entered our hospitals in the past 24 hours alone and the total number of coronavirus patients hospitalized across Fars province has surpassed the 2500 mark,” said the dean of Shiraz Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the Mehr news agency.

All of our oxygen-producing equipment are working at full capacity,” said the dean of Ahvaz Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“In the previous peak we had 600 hospitalized coronavirus patients at the most. Right now, however, while we have yet to reach the climax of this peak, we already have 700 patients hospitalized.
