Iran news in brief, February 9, 2021 Iran: Coronavirus Fatalities Exceed 212,900 Over 212,900 people have died of the novel coronavirus across Iran according to reports tallied by the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Monday. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 58,536 around a third of the actual figure. The number of new Covid-19 cases have once again been increasing across the country. If this trend continues in the next two weeks the number of people hospitalized will increase, and two weeks later the death rate will rise,” said Masoud Mardani, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Monday. “We hope the new coronavirus wave will not be accompanied with various new mutated strains because if this does happen it will most certainly result in a much stronger wave and the death toll will be higher,” he added, according to the state controlled Sharaghna news agency.
