“There are no available beds for coronavirus patients in [West Azerbaijan] province and there is immense pressure on the medical centers and staff. The numbers of patients hospitalized in medical centers, ICU branches and those under ventilators are rising exponentially. Currently we have 1754 patients hospitalized, and during the past 24 hours 28 people have lost their lives,” said dean of West Azerbaijan Medical Sciences University on Saturday.
“The status quo in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari province is hyper-critical. Each day the number of patients is rising. This volume of people seeking medical care has had a severe impact on the medical staff and they may leave them unable to provide further care. The fact that 600 people dying of coronavirus each day across the country has yet to awaken some people. The fifth coronavirus wave has yet to reach its peak. Entering the next peak in such conditions already signals a massive catastrophe,” according to a Saturday piece wired by the Fars news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
