The new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) was killed in Korea by five people a day. The number of cumulative deaths that occurred in the last 15 days (August 14-29) increased by more than three times compared to the increase of 5 in the same period (July 29 to August 13).
In response, quarantine authorities feared that the rate of spread of the infection in recent years is rapid and that the age of confirmed patients in major infected areas, such as Sarangjeil church and downtown Seoul, is high, so the trend of the death toll will continue in the future.
Joon-wook Kwon, deputy chief of Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), said at a briefing held at the Centers for Disease Control in Osong, Chungbuk on the 29th. It is a dangerous situation that can be confirmed and epidemiological investigation capabilities are being tested ”.
Deputy Director General Kwon said: “The frequency of deaths is due to the large scale of the general outbreak, but also to the rapid rate of increase.” “The explosive increase in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas last February and the increase in the metropolitan area in August itself” There are some similar situations. “There are so many deaths, and the high proportion of people aged 60 and over by age is a very worrying situation, “he said.” This situation itself has an impact on the scale of the increase in the number of patients with severe and stomach diseases. “” Based on the scale and results of the practical analysis of the current increase in the number of patients with severe and severe symptoms, we believe the number of deaths will continue to rise. ”“ If elderly and chronically ill patients are at home, please pay more attention to personal quarantine and check from time to time. ”
According to Bang Dae-bon, a total of 5 people died the day before. By age group, there are 1 in their 60s, 1 in their 70s, 2 in their 80s, and 1 in their 90s. By region, there were 4 in Gyeonggi and 1 in Seoul. The route of infection has not been identified in 3 out of 5 deaths. One of them is a contact with the Woori Jeil Church in Yongin, and another is the case of the Songpa-gu family. Two out of five were confirmed after death and three died during treatment after being confirmed. Of the three who died after diagnosis, one died after being admitted to a medical institution for 8 days, and one was transferred to a medical institution after confirmation, but the condition rapidly deteriorated and he died the same day. The other was contacted by the confirmed person, and the condition worsened during self-isolation and he was transferred to a medical institution, but died the next day.
