“As we have ran out of available beds in hospitals and medical centers across [Markazi] province, we need to think about placing coronavirus patients in corridors and on floors.

If we reach the capacity limit in Vali Asr Hospital, we will run out of available beds,” said the dean of Arak Medical Sciences University on Monday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

Next week conditions will be even worse,” according to a Monday report wired by the Mehr news agency.
