In Tehran, Alireza Zali, head of NCCT, in Tehran told ISNA today, “Continuous fatigue, exhaustive processes and changes in the motivations of the medical community, due to the exhaustive and prolonged pandemic, have changed the status of the medical community compared to the past. We must be careful that the fatigue caused by the erosion of this disease does not go beyond this, because coinciding with seasonal illnesses, added to people’s tendency to be indoors, and development of respiratory symptoms and allergies in this season, besides the arrival of the new H1N1 wave is very worrying. If the situation continues in the same way, the medical community will be under direct pressure in the fall.”
