Among the confirmed cases of Corona 19, it was found that about 780 patients were classified as severe or higher in total.
Kwak-jin, head of the patient management team at the Central Defense Response Headquarters, said, "out of the 2,644 cumulative confirmed cases as of 0 o'clock today (3rd), all 789 were confirmed to be at least one day."
This is the level of 3.8% of the cumulative corona19 confirmed cases that have occurred in Korea since January this year.
"Excluding the 329 confirmed deaths to date, 460 people have recovered or are currently undergoing treatment," Kwak added.
As of yesterday, there were 154 people whose condition worsens due to the recent rapid increase in the number of corona19 confirmed patients, of which 131 people in their 60s or older, 85.1%.
The quarantine authorities classify patients with mechanical breathing or ECMO, which is an artificial cardiopulmonary device, as'severe patients', and patients who can breathe by themselves but who receive oxygen therapy due to low oxygen saturation are classified as'severe patients'.
