218,000 people have died in Iran due to the coronavirus
Deputy Minister of Health Qassem Babakhani also announced a fivefold increase in the number of patients with coronavirus in the country and warned about the exhaustion of hospital capacity of the province’s hospitals.
Meanwhile, according to the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), more than 218,000 people across the country have died as a result of the coronavirus.
Government officials put the death toll at less than 60,000, but their numbers are strongly disputed by doctors inside Iran.
Harirchi admitted: “Today we had more than 8,000 new cases. Given that the percentage of positive tests has increased, we must assume that the virus is present everywhere in the country. Young people and children are more likely to get this type of mutated virus. The British coronavirus has been seen more in the provinces of Tehran, Alborz, Khuzestan and Qazvin.”
More deaths as Khamenei bans import of the vaccine
Minoo Mohrez, a Member of the National Taskforce for Combating the coronavirus in Iran, said: “The rate of the disease in the country is increasing. If this continues, we will have to wait for the fourth wave of the disease in the country. Currently, the rate of the disease is rising badly. The mutated virus that has mutated in Britain is on the rise. The speed of transmission of this virus is very, very high. It can increase the number of critically ill patients and the mortality rate by increasing the number of patients per person.”
Meanwhile, government officials are reporting the outbreak of the fourth coronavirus wave, while people around the world are buying and injecting vaccines with astonishing speed. But Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei has increased mortality by banning the purchase of an effective and credible vaccine from the US, Britain or France. In this regard, Mohammad Reza Zafar Ghandi, head of the Medical System Organization, reiterated that vaccination should be free of political issues and a priority for officials.
