Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll in 353 Cities Exceeded 83,200<\/h3>\n

\"Over-83200-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources\"Deputy Head of the regime\u2019s Medical Council: About 6,000 health workers in Tehran were infected with Coronavirus and more than 150 of them died. The number of critically ill patients who need ICU has increased and we are facing a shortage of ICU beds in the country. The shortage of medical staff in the ICU is serious. Another problem is the delay in the payment of medical staff which has been delayed for months. (IRNA, Aug. 5)
\nHead of the medical team of Khomeini Hospital in Tehran: If we have more gatherings, we will have an unprecedented slaughter. Gatherings must absolutely stop. (Javan daily, Aug. 5)
\nArak University of Medical Sciences: Six months after the outbreak, instead of reducing the number of high-risk cities is increasing, daily. We should be expecting terrifying days. (ISNA, Aug. 5)
\nMrs. Rajavi hailed the medical staff and said: If it were not for their sacrifice, the number of Coronavirus victims would have been even higher. Instead of fighting the disease, even in the midst of the Coronavirus catastrophe, the inhumane clerical regime, continues to squander the country\u2019s wealth on nuclear and missile projects, warmongering and terrorism, and does not pay the meager salaries of nurses.<\/p>\n
