Deputy Minister of Health: Increase in cases of critically ill and young coronaries / alarm in Tehran

Dr. Iraj Haririchi, pointing out that we have to reopen, said: "But when the reopening is done, we must follow the health protocols; Recently, one of the leading causes of death due to the one-month interval from the Eid al-Fitr holiday and the holding of celebrations in some provinces such as Khorestan, Hormozgan, ‌ Bushehr, Kurdistan, ‌ Kermanshah and Azerbaijan, which also have peaks of disease, This brings us to 162 deaths a day (the daily death toll from the corona yesterday).

He added: Suppose if we multiply this number of 162 deaths by the number of days in a year, what number of deaths will we face? Even if the daily mortality rate reaches 100, it will still lead to about 36,000 deaths annually.

"In the most optimistic predictions, the Covid 19 vaccine may be available in the next 12 to 14 months," he said. Unless something unexpected happens that seems unlikely; We will face this virus and this death rate.

Increase in cases of critically ill and young

"Corona is not a joke and it kills seriously," he said, stressing that no viral agent has killed him in such a short time. Recently, the number of hospitalizations of critically ill and young patients has increased, and all this is a warning and people should not consider this problem as a joke.

The reason for the increase in coronary cases in recent days

"Nothing is a joke," he said, noting that the cases of hospitalization and deaths caused by Covid 19 are a coercive and necessary consequence of people's behavior in reopening and non-compliance with health care tips. As much as we reduce social contacts, do not use masks, do not follow personal hygiene tips, we will face an increase in cases. Our goal at the Ministry of Health was to reach single-digit deaths, but it has been almost two weeks since the death toll has reached three digits.

Alarm in Tehran

In response to the question of what is the meaning of increasing the number of coronary hospitalizations compared to the number of discharged cases in Tehran ?, he said: "This is a great danger sign." Almost from the middle of the fourth week of Farvardin, the number of hospitalizations in Tehran and most of the cities that had couriers such as Gilan, Qom, Golestan, Yazd and Semnan had decreased and the result of hospital stay had decreased, but now we do not have time to leave the previous hospitalizations. To accept new admissions.

64 casualties of medical staff in public hospitals

"We are facing a deep lesion," he said. Coronas were found, while 64 doctors, nurses and paramedics died in government hospitals alone. Unfortunately, according to my observations, 40 people were quarantined at Buchan Hospital alone. Some of these loved ones have not seen their children and parents for a long time.

Difficult conditions of the treatment staff

Referring to adolescents and young people who often do not observe health issues, he said: If you do not feel sorry for yourself, have mercy on the health care staff ; Later, if they are not personnel, you will get into trouble yourself. During my visit to the city of Buchan, I saw that the nurses work 230 hours a month in this crisis, even in those harsh conditions and wearing the protective clothing worn by the medical staff.

Haririchi stressed that the return of some restrictions is inevitable. As  approved by the Corona National Headquarters with the nature of a city, now 6 provinces plus Tehran province had requests in this regard. These restrictions have been imposed in provinces such as West Azerbaijan, and mosques, cinemas, schools, etc. have been closed with these powers.

Apply the mask

Speaking on a television program, he called the use of masks one of the most important protective measures for people and stated: They should use masks as soon as they leave home. It is very important to follow the health tips, not to play with the mask and.. I urge people not to leave the house under any circumstances unless leaving the house is for economic purposes.
