Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll in 408 Cities Exceeds 96,000

According to the Health Ministry, 28 provinces with 93% of the country’s population are in a state of red or alert
* Deputy Health Ministry: We will probably live with the COVID-19 virus for up to two years. We are currently in a critical situation, most of the provinces of the country, especially the northern provinces and Tehran, are red.

* Iranian regime’s “Medical Council”: It was a mistake not to predict how long the Coronavirus would last correctly. Some reopenings fueled the spread of the virus. The tough battle is going to be this fall.

Doctors and nurses are exhausted, many of them have become ill, many died, four private clinics are closed every week … Every day we hear the news of a colleague’s death. All these have impacted the morale of doctors and nurses.

* Vice president of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad University of Medical Sciences: The number of infected in the Province is one and a half times the national average.
