“These color categories are mainly for statistical purposes and have no impact on taking urgent action. When numbers are rising, we don’t realize, and when conditions become red it is only then that we start thinking about doing something; whereas we should be taking action beforehand, so we don’t reach such a phase. Considering the status quo of coronavirus in our country, in the coming days we will most definitely witness an escalation in this illness,” said a member of National Covid-19 Task Force on Wednesday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

“The number of coronavirus patients hospitalized in Sistan & Baluchistan province is increasing. This means signs of the sixth Covid-19 wave is closer than we thought,” according to a Wednesday statement released by the Sistan & Baluchistan Medical Sciences University.

 

“During he past 24 hours 250 people have been hospitalized for coronavirus. This indicates the deteriorating situation in [West Azerbaijan] province. During the past two months there has been enormous pressure on our medical staff, especially in the city of Urmia, and even on some days the number of people hospitalized surpassed the 450 mark. Of the 1522 people currently hospitalized, 300 are in ICUs and 48 are under ventilators. During the past 24 hours we lost 23 people due to coronavirus,” said the dean of West Azerbaijan Medical Sciences University on Wednesday, according to the regime’s official IRNA news agency.

 

“Each day around 1000 people are seeking medical care in various centers across the city of Ahvaz. There is a possibility of a new peak beginning in the coming days and it will be a tough peak,” said the Ahvaz Health Council secretary on Wednesday, according to ISNA.

 

“The increasing rate of new Covid-19 cases and those being hospitalized in various cities indicates the spread of the sixth wave of this illness in Kohgiluyeh earlier than previously forecasted. During the past week the number of positive coronavirus cases in this city has increased significantly, in a way that more than 50 percent of the PCR tests have been positive. This is similar to the climax of previous waves,” said the Health Network president in Kohgiluyeh & Boyer Ahmad province.
