“Qom is among those areas that are the most vulnerable for entering the sixth coronavirus peak. The reopening of schools, universities, and sports centers without imposing smart restrictions is wrong. Qom’s vulnerable spot regarding coronavirus is the schools and if we enter the sixth wave it will be through this soft spot,” said the dean of Qom Medical Sciences University on Friday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“Each day we are witnessing an increase in the number of positive cases and those being hospitalized for coronavirus in [South Khorasan] province. If this increasing trend of new cases and those being hospitalized continues, the beginning of the sixth peak is not far off,” according to a statement released on Friday by the South Khorasan Covid-19 Task Force.
In Yazd province the number of patients in ICUs is on the rise. “We currently have 389 coronavirus patients hospitalized, of which 110 are in ICUs,” according to a statement released on Friday by the Yazd Medical Sciences University.
“Of the 379 PCR tests taken by the Yasuj province lab, the highest number of positive cases were in the cities of Boyer Ahmad, Kohgiluyeh, and Dena,” said the dean of Yasuj Medical Sciences University on Friday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
“Excessive emphasis on vaccination”, “presenting high vaccination numbers,” “the normalization of this illness,” and “vast re-openings across the country” has rendered a new wave, according to the state-run Arman daily in a piece published on Friday. “More than 75 percent of all the schools lack the necessary conditions to reopen and a significant percentage of our teachers and school staff, along with the students, have not been vaccinated,” the piece adds.
