Iran University of Medical Sciences: If the newly mutated virus spreads in the community, we should expect at least a 40% increase in infections, and this is not far from reality. (Shafaghna news outlet, January 29, 2021)
Hamid Emadi, member of the National Coronavirus Combat Taskforce (NCCT): More children have recently been infected, which could be due to the mutated virus. Subsequently, new peaks in spreading the virus may occur. There will not be any vaccination until the end of this year (March 20, 2021).
