“The Health Ministry shares no information or data regarding the spread of coronavirus, controlling this virus and identifying new cases. As a result, we are forced into guessing and using information made available by the World Health Organization,” said a senior member of the Tehran Medical University on Thursday, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.

In Kurdistan province, “coronavirus continues to spread significantly and the cities of Sanandaj and Marivan remain classified as red zone areas. Provincial officials have acknowledged that the numbers of new cases, those hospitalized, and coronavirus deaths in Kurdistan’s hospitals are concerning,” according to a Thursday report wired by the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.

“Considering the possibility of a sixth coronavirus wave beginning, Razavi Khorasan province has around two months of medicine and supplies in its pharmacies to confront such a situation. It has been emphasized to all hospitals across this province to procure and store 20 medications necessary for coronavirus patients,” according to a statement released Thursday by the Mashhad Medical Sciences University.

“During the past 24 hours another 25 coronavirus patients lost their lives in West Azerbaijan province.
