Official Corona statistics: 371 more Iranians have died, 5,825 patients are in intensive care

The spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Health announced that 371 patients with coronavirus have died in the past 24 hours, adding that 5,825 patients are currently in "serious condition" and are under intensive care.

Sima Sadat Lari, who presented official coronavirus statistics in Iran as usual on Monday, December 1, announced the identification of 13,321 patients during this period.

Including the new statistics, the total number of coronavirus victims in Iran has reached 48,246, according to the Ministry of Health, and the total number of infected patients has increased to 962,070.

According to Iranian Ministry of Health officials, 27 provinces in Iran are still in a red state in terms of the spread of the coronavirus, and the provinces of Hormozgan, Fars, Golestan, and Sistan and Baluchestan are in an orange and yellow state.

Independent sources have repeatedly expressed doubts about the accuracy of government statistics on infections and deaths due to coronavirus in Iran.

Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi, head of the Iranian Medical System Organization, has previously announced that the actual number of deaths and cases of coronavirus in Iran is three times higher than the official figures from the Ministry of Health.
