The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 73,219 around a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cWe are in a crisis and any moment the Indian variant can spread across the country, all while the fourth coronavirus wave has yet to reach its peak and we are experiencing difficult days,\u201d said the head of the country\u2019s Virology Research Center on Tuesday. \u201cSince there is no sign of a nationwide lockdown and the vaccination pace is extremely slow, we will most definitely face more waves in the future. As we speak many hospitals are packed with coronavirus patients. Therefore, we must quarantine our cities or else the fourth Covid-19 wave will continue for some time,\u201d this official added, according to the state-run Yekta Press news outlet.
