Iran to begin administering imported vaccines in February
Iranian officials have warned that the country is set to experience a fourth wave of the coronavirus.
Alireza Zali, the head of Tehran’s anti-coronavirus task force, warned Thursday that the country was heading toward a fourth wave of the coronavirus. According to Zali, a number of alarming trends have occurred over the last week, including new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. Zali warned that if these trends continue, Iran would experience its fourth wave by early February.
Iran recently experienced a third wave that saw daily deaths rise into the mid 300s; that number has since dropped. In the last 24 hours, there have been 93 deaths. The total number of coronavirus deaths is now over 57,000, though officials have warned the actual numbers could be twice as high as this.
