<Anchor> The

number of patients in the Corona 19 area was faltering yesterday (15th) and 20 people today, but I am worried because there are more elderly patients. One 80-year-old patient died after three days of confirmation.

<Reporter> An

80-year-old man who was in quarantine treatment at a university hospital in Incheon died yesterday.

The patient was confirmed to have visited Richway last month and was quarantined during self-isolation.

I had mild symptoms, such as sensation, four days before the test, but after I was hospitalized, I took X-rays, and my pneumonia was quite advanced.

The patient died three days after confirmation.

Health authorities have admitted that there was a gap in self-isolator management.

[Kwak Jin/Director, Patient Management Team, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: We will work harder with the local

government to better monitor the worsening of clinical conditions during the quarantine period.] Currently, the corona19 fatality rate in Korea is 2.3%, but by age, 70s are 10 %, over 80 years of age exceeded 25%.

This is because elderly people with poor immunity are less likely to get pneumonia and have a greater risk of worsening than severe.

[Eom Jung-Sik/Professor of Gachon University Gil Hospital Infectious Diseases: In the case of high-risk contacts, it is necessary to consider how to isolate medical facilities so that medical staff can monitor them nearby.]

As the proportion of elderly patients increased significantly due to group infections of health care products, religious facilities, and elderly care facilities, the number of people with severe or severe illness increased to 24.
