The second death in Korea is a 54-year-old woman who was admitted to Qingdao Daenam Hospital.

The deceased was confirmed at Corona19 yesterday (21st) at Qingdao Hospital and was taken to Busan National University Hospital by ambulance.

When I arrived at the hospital, my condition was seriously severe due to severe pneumonia, and the medical staff performed CPR, but I died about 6 pm.

It is not yet confirmed whether the woman had previously had underlying diseases such as pneumonia.

Yesterday, a woman in her 50s and a man in her 60s died in Busan National Hospital.

Men in their 60s have severe pneumonia, but fortunately it is not known to be serious.

The first death in Korea, which died early Monday, has been hospitalized for more than 20 years at Daenam Hospital in Qingdao.

The first death was a chronic lung disease. Health authorities believe that in this situation, they were infected with corona19 and died of severe pneumonia.
