On Sunday, June 14, Afkar told the state-run ISNA news agency, “Forty of the city’s medical staff were infected with the coronavirus in the first wave, and ten others have recently contracted the disease.”
“Unfortunately, on Saturday night, we had a very bad and crowded night in Torbat-e-Jam Hospital. The infectious department was completely filled, and we had to activate the support departments that we had planned for such a situation,” he said.
Afkar also continued, “The reason for this overcrowding is that the patients of Taybad and Bakharz cities were also overflowed in Torbat-e-Jam, which made the capacity of our hospital to be full.”
“The number of hospital beds in Torbat-e-Jam is very low for a specific hospital for a region of 500,000. We currently have 190 active beds in the city while we should have at least 450 active beds for a 500,000-seat area,” he added.
