Regime President Ebrahim Raisi and other mullahs are encouraging people to participate in upcoming religious ceremonies. All the while, head of the emergency branch in Tehran’s Sina Hospital said on Monday, “Those who say we will definitely hold the upcoming annual Moharram religious ceremonies need to say in which verse of the Quran has it stated that we can send people to their deaths? Some of these people are senior officials. If the status quo remains as is, we will witness the sixth wave following the Moharram religious ceremonies.” (state-run Rudad24 website)
“The Health Ministry has crumbled, and the health apparatus has been left on its own. The number of people hospitalized is three times the actual capacity, and we have less than 1.5 nurses for each 1,000 of our population,” said the secretary general of Iran’s House of Nurses on Sunday. “ICUs in all hospitals have reached their capacity limits and at times a nurse has to provide medical care to four coronavirus patients. Conditions would be better if we didn’t have a Health Ministry. A group of people in the Health Ministry are only seeking to make profits. Vaccination is the only method to prevent this. However, even that is taking place at an extremely slow pace,” this official added, according to the state-run Tejarat News daily.
“Today we broke our record in the number of new cases and daily deaths. Will those who issued statements banning the import of vaccines provide any answers?” asked the head of the regime’s Medical Apparatus Organization on Monday, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.
“Currently we have more than 10,600 people hospitalized. All the beds are filled with patients… patients are held waiting in emergency beds, and beds become available based on the number of patients released and those who lose their lives,” said Nader Tavakoli, deputy chair of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Monday, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
“100 temporary medical centers have been established and 1500 emergency beds have been activated,” said Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Monday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
