“The delta virus is more contagious and more capable in making people severely ill. Our colleagues are under extreme pressure,” said Health Minister Saied Namaki on Thursday. “Unfortunately, protocols are not abided by at all. Roads are open, cities are crowded, and unnecessary commuting is rampant. We have prepared ourselves for these waves to become stronger,” he added, according to the Mizan news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s judiciary.
“Conditions are critical and hyper-red. Tehran, without any empty beds, is about to explode. If you contract Covid-19 these days and need to be hospitalized, don’t think you can find an empty bed unless you have special connections with a deputy minister or somewhat,” reads a Thursday report wired the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). “And just take ordinary medicine to maybe heal. All the while, the Health Minister has constantly repeated in his remarks that they will not have any patients waiting behind hospital doors,” the text adds.
“Tehran is in dire conditions. The fifth peak is becoming more difficult with every passing minute. There are rumors about hospitals reaching their full capacities, shortage in medicine, long-hour waits in hospitals’ emergency sections or entrances, and the possibility of patients sleeping behind hospital doors. Such reports have led to various heads of hospitals in Tehran to sound their alarm bells for the capital,” reads a Thursday report wired by the Fars news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
“Mazandaran province has the highest number of new coronavirus cases per capita. All its hospitals and emergency branches have reached their full capacities. These circumstances are true in the three provinces of Mazandaran, Golestan and Gilan. However, conditions in Mazandaran are worse,” said a member of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) Health Committee on Thursday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“During the past 24 hours for the first time we had 4000 people seeking initial medical care for Covid-19 symptoms in hospitals across [Khuzestan] province. This figure has doubled in comparison to two weeks ago,” said the dean of Ahvaz Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“We have purchased ten air conditioners with the aim of improving the cooling system of [Ganji Hospital in the city of Borazjan]. However, the dilemma continues. We are forced to accept more patients than our standard capacity, leading to a higher number of beds to provide medical care to these patients. All of this has led to problems for our cooling systems, water heaters, electricity and oxygen devices,” said the caretaker of Ganji Hospital in the city of Borazjan on Thursday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

The highest rise is reported from the cities of Rasht, Astara, Anzali, Rudsar, Langrud, and Lahijan, and hospitals are packed with Covid-19 patients. We may be facing a shortage in hospital beds in the coming days,” said the deputy dean of Gilan Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the IRGC Quds Force-related Tasnim news agency.
