Since the number of confirmed cases of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea has recently increased, the number of deaths is also increasing. In addition, among the elderly, there are also cases that are confirmed after death, which raises concern.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters on the 29th, at 0 o’clock in the day, five of the confirmed corona 19 patients died recently. The age of the deceased was 1 in their 60s, 1 in their 70s, 2 in their 80s and 1 in their 90s, and the regions were 4 in Gyeonggi-do and 1 in Seoul.
Of these, three died in medical institutions after being confirmed and two were confirmed after death. A patient who died in a medical institution was transferred to a medical institution the same day after it was confirmed, but progress rapidly deteriorated and he died that day. At least three of them died without being able to use their hands properly. Quarantine authorities are also concerned that there is no gap between the time of death and the time of confirmation, or even that the order is reversed.
In a periodic briefing on the 29th, Kwon Jun-wook, deputy chief of the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters, said: “The current situation in Corona 19 is overwhelming.”
Deputy General Manager Kwon also said: “As the explosive increase in Daegu and Gyeongbuk between February and March and the increase in the metropolitan area in August occur in similar circumstances, the number of deaths is high and the proportion of people older than 60 years in the age group is quite worried. “I emphasized.
He explained: “It takes about a week to ten days after the outbreak of the confirmed case to become a severe or severe patient (develops), and it usually takes about a month after the outbreak of the confirmed case, so the size of death increases. ” In the case of the deceased, it is said to become urgent within a week to ten days after confirmation, and death occurs after a month or so.
With this in mind, it is feared that the number of deaths that have been found with the recent increase in confirmed cases will increase significantly in the future. Deputy General Manager Kwon also explained: “Based on the scale of the current increase in the number of patients with serious and serious illnesses and the results of the practical analysis, we believe that the number of deaths will continue to increase.”
At 0 o’clock on this day, the cumulative death toll was 321 and the number of confirmed daily cases rose to triple digits. Compared to the increase of 5 people (300 on July 29 → 305 on August 13) during the same period before the 14th, it increased more than three times. Furthermore, the number of deaths in the last three days has increased dramatically from ‘1 person → 3 people → 5 people’.
Deputy Director General Kwon said: “The scale of the infection route is not yet classified, and cases of death continue to be found immediately after diagnosis, and it is a negative situation of concern because it may refute the widespread silent transmission of local communities.” .
“Young people may think of it as an infectious disease that can recover after getting sick, but it is a matter of life for dear parents, grandmothers and grandparents, and those with underlying illnesses,” he added.
Meanwhile, quarantine authorities plan to intensively manage the illegal consumption of door-to-door businesses frequently visited by the elderly through the operation of a Fair Trade Commission reporting center.
