Iran Press/Iran News: In a press conference on Saturday explaining the latest situation of coronavirus disease in the world and Iran, Alireza Raisi, referred to the outbreak of the 'Delta Plus' variant, said that the infection rates are higher and its pandemic is even greater.
The spokesman also said that half of Iran's provinces are affected by the 5th wave of Indian mutation, with 92 cities in red, 183 in orange, and 173 in yellow.
Raisi said that the observance of health protocols in Sistan and Baluchestan province (the most virus-affected province), southeastern Iran, is below 50 percent, adding that many administrations and state offices in the province have been closed due to the outbreak of the Indian Delta virus.
"People should not worry about the second dose of the corona vaccine," Raisi said, noting, "7 million doses of vaccine have been distributed so far. In August and September 2021, 10 million monthly doses will be provided to the Ministry of Health, and by March 20, 2022, all target groups will be vaccinated."
"Iran could shot 200,000 to 300,000 vaccines per day which expected to reach 500,000 per day," Raisi said.
