We ARE in the second wave. Overall, either early to judge or it has certainly been a softer second wave in areas where experienced a severe first wave.
But things in Khuzestan province are critical.

Just in 24 hours, number of #COVID19 cases in Khuzestan province (4.7M) was tripled: 553 cases - considering mainly hospitalised patients get tested, it is bad.
This is while it took 2 weeks to get a x3. Now just a day.

Here is the top health official in Khuzestan saying in live TV that they cannot provide the breakdown of #COVID19 cases/deaths in Khuzestan since it will cause panic.
This is Ahvaz (1.2M), late at night - still very busy. As if no #COVID19
Khuzestan aside, Lorestan as I had been saying is also experiencing a fierce second wave. It also experienced a first wave but not as bad as Gilan and Qom.
In fact the centre/capital of the province, Khorramabad (373K), went back into lockdown.

Province of North Khorasan (0.87) had been on the news for the second wave of #COVID but now things are worrying after a big rise in just a week.
Hot province of Hormozgan (1.8M) experienced an ease after the first wave but now things are worrying according to the officials.
#IMPORTANT Are you waiting for hot months convinced that #COVID will be gone?
Well, Ahvaz in Khuzestan was 42ºC today. Bandar Abbas was 38ºC.
#COVID is ravaging in these cities.

On the #COVID related front, commander of Police Special Forces said yesterday that they are ready for any unrests and now they are equipped with new devices to crush any protest.
I will leave you with this heartbreaking scene of a farmer crying over his crop which due to #COVID and disruption of supply chain, now is pretty much worthless.
Some vegetables (like aubergine) are so cheap now they they are not worth harvesting.
