“Some cities and towns in Khuzestan are now considered red zones. We also have cities and towns in other provinces that were yellow and are now yellow. This is a warning for all of us, meaning we are headed for a fourth peak,” said regime President Hassan Rouhani after a long delay. “It takes two to ten years for a vaccine to become fully reliable… It is still not clear how effective this vaccine is. There are different numbers regarding how long this vaccine will provide adequate protection. Three months, six months, one year. It is still not clear which vaccine is the most effective. It is also not clear if these vaccines are reliable against the mutated version of Covid-19,” he added in his new series of lies as fear of escalating public anger grows regarding the regime’s delay in providing the vaccine.
“A hard period is beginning for us and we must be ready to fight off this very resilient and mutated virus,” said Health Minister Saied Namaki on Saturday. “This virus may also be mutating in our own country,” he added, according to state TV.
“Khuzestan province is witnessing the highest number of new cases and nine cities are considered red zones,” said Alireza Raisi, spokesperson of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Saturday. “In West Azerbaijan we are also witnessing a surge. A total of nine cities and towns are red, 39 are orange, 228 are yellow and 172 are blue zones. We have four red cities in East Azerbaijan province, two in Isfahan, five in Khuzestan, one in South Khorasan, one in Kerman, three in Kohgiluyeh & Boyer Ahmad and Golestan, seven in Gilan and eight in Mazandaran,” he added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
