“A shortage in serums is serious and in the past 48 hours this has become a major issue in our hospitals. Each day an average of 2000 coronavirus patients are hospitalized in Tehran,” said Alierza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Wednesday. “During the past four weeks there has not been a balance between the number of people released and those being hospitalized. Considering the fact that Tehran is the destination of much of our transactions, we need to adopt a different strategy to increase vaccination. Without control over Tehran, we will not be able to control the entire country,” he added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“Hospitals in Alborz province have reached their maximum capacities and are being flooded. These facilities are not able to increase the number of patients that they can hospitalize,” according to a statement released on Wednesday by the Alborz Covid-19 Task Force.
“46 patients in Al Zahra Hospital are waiting for an ICU to become available. There is also a line of patients waiting for ordinary beds,” said the spokesperson of Isfahan Medical Sciences University on Wednesday, according to the state-run IMNA news agency.
