“As we already know we have yet to reach herd immunity and need to vaccinate 75 percent of the public in order to reach that level of safety. We are still far from such a threshold and this distance can cause us problems,” said Hamidreza Jama’ati, Secretary of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
“Of the 230 samples received from the provinces of Tehran, Semnan, Sistan & Baluchistan, Alborz and Markazi, 34 are of the delta variant and other mutations. This is significantly important and indicates that our country remains prone to discovering new variants that could be even more contagious,” said Deputy Health Minister Farid Najafi on Saturday, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
“During the past 24 hours the number of dire coronavirus patients under ventilators in ICU branches of hospitals across Qazvin province increased by 17 percent and the death toll escalated by 100 percent. These numbers have doubled in comparison to yesterday,” according to the Qazvin Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday.
“The spread of coronavirus in Gilan province remains fragile and the virus is active. This has resulted in a wave of concerns among Gilan’s population and medical professionals regarding the next Covid-19 wave.
