Doubling The Prevalence of Covid-19 in Iran

In October, 4,000 new patients, and in November, about 9,400 new patients were infected by Covid-19 daily in Iran. This means a doubling of the prevalence of the disease in November compared to October. Thus, the average daily growth rate of patients in the country has increased from 0.59% in September to 0.84% in October and to 1.41% in November, which is the highest possible amount in the last 6 months. If this trend continues, with an average daily growth of 1.41 percent at the end of December, the population of patients in the country will reach more than one million and 300 thousand people.

Also, the number of deaths in October has increased by more than 6,000 new deaths to 31,000 at the end of October and with an increase of 13,000 new deaths to 44,000 at the end of November. Thus, in October, an average of 200 deaths per day and in November, more than 400 deaths have been infected. This will mean doubling the daily death rate in November compared to October. Accordingly, the average daily growth rate of the country has increased from 0.6 percent in September to 0.83 percent in October and to 1.13 percent in November, and if this trend continues, the population of the dead in December will reach more than 60,000 people in the country.
