“We have yet to surpass the fifth wave and this process has become longer. The number of dire patients that remain hospitalized is extremely high. They have been able to survive longer thanks to the hospital care provided. However, there is a percentage of them that do not survive,” said Deputy Health Minister Ghasem Jan Babaie on Wednesday, according to the regime’s official IRIB news agency.

“All of a sudden from the second day of this week the tables have turned and once again the numbers are rising. From [Saturday] to yesterday the number of new cases across Iran have escalated by 37 percent and the number of people being hospitalized increased by 25.51 percent. This is a warning signal of a new peak in the making,” according to a Wednesday report wired by the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.

 

 

“The number of people being hospitalized each day stands at around 1400 and we currently have around 6300 new patients hospitalized,” said Nader Tavakoli, deputy chair of Tehran’s Covid-19 Task Force, on Wednesday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
