The percentage of positive COVID-19 samples in Iran has risen for the fifth consecutive week, reaching 17%.

According to the Center for Disease Control of the Ministry of Health regarding the week ending on September 18, this percentage was 8.9% in the same week last year. The percentage of positive COVID-19 samples had already surpassed the warning threshold the week before.

The Ministry of Health emphasized the necessity of intensifying monitoring of acute respiratory infections.

This warning comes amid growing concerns about the simultaneous spread of COVID-19 and influenza.

On the other hand, the influenza vaccine has not yet been distributed in pharmacies in Iran, despite the approaching cold season. According to the Shargh newspaper, the Food and Drug Organization has reported securing shipments from China, Russia, and some European countries, but pharmacists say there is no news of distribution.
