“We are concerned about our conditions in late February and March because once again the number of new Covid-19 cases have increased and this is a very serious warning,” said Minoo Mohraz, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Sunday, according to the Fars news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
In Tehran province, Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force said the number of new cases has increased by 3 percent in the past 24 hours. “Currently there are 2090 patients in sections allocated for coronavirus patients.

However, during this same 24-hour period 136 patients have been released from hospitals,” he said on Sunday, according to the Fars news agency.
“The society’s patience is wearing thin, and the economic and psychological dilemmas caused by Covid-19 have increased psychological pressure on the people. This is making their patience of officials’ behavior become very narrow,” said the Tehran City Council chair on Sunday. “If we expect people to continue defending the state, at least we should not be sending messages of despair that instigate tension to our society,” he added, according to the state controlled Eskan News media outlet.
The dean of Ahvaz Medical Sciences University is reporting a 48 percent increase in the number of Covid-19 patients, a 50 percent increase in the number of those hospitalized and a 12 percent increase in the coronavirus death toll across Khuzestan province. “The number of coronavirus patients being hospitalized across the province is rising significantly.

“The number of people seeking medical care with coronavirus symptoms have increased by 30 percent and those being released from hospital have decreased.
