While the mullahs’ regime proceeds with its criminal and plundering policy in refusing to purchase Covid-19 vaccines and delaying general vaccination, the regime’s own experts are warning about new coronavirus sweeping the country.
“The downward trend has started for this wave but Tehran in the past few days has witnessed an increase in the number of people seeking initial medical attention for Covid-19 symptoms, and those being hospitalized,” said a senior official of Tehran’s Masih Daneshvari Hospital on Thursday. “The status quo in Tehran is unstable. We hope to not witness a new wave after general vaccination,” this official continued, according to the state-run E’temad daily.
“All our concerns are focused on confronting a new coronavirus wave. We are estimating that during the next six months we will witness two more waves in Isfahan,” said the deputy dean of Isfahan Medical Sciences University on Friday. “Most of our concern is that the vaccination effort will not be able to cope with the new waves. Currently the African variant, of which samples have been found in Iran, has had significant resistance against vaccination. Therefore, everyone should know that they should remain careful to prevent a significant rise in numbers in our province,” the official added, according to the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
In Hormozgan province of southern Iran the spokesperson of the local Medical Sciences University said on Friday that the illness continues to see a steady rise in numbers. Yesterday all the stats associated to this illness in this province showed increases. “We are extremely concerned considering the fact that the current peak has yet to finalize, and cases of new and dangerous variants have been found in the province,” the official added, according to the Tasnim news agency.
“We have yet to reach the control phase of this epidemic in Hormozgan province and we need to control the current path of this virus,” said a senior member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Friday, according to the Tasnim news agency.
