She also warned that many people have contracted Covid but they mistake it for cold and do not wear a mask.

Meanwhile, Dr. Minoo Mohraz an infectious disease specialist urged referred to the rising number of hospitalizations and outpatient cases, urging people to observe health protocols.

Dr. Mohraz said failure to do so will worsen the Covid situation.
