Osaka Prefecture announced on the 29th that the number of deaths per day due to the new coronavirus has reached a record high of 44.
Since the spread of the infection last year, the number of deaths per day by prefecture has surpassed the highest number of 32 in Tokyo, the highest ever in Japan.
Osaka Prefecture announced on the 29th that the number of newly infected people was 1172, and 44 deaths were confirmed, which is the highest number in a day.
In terms of the number of deaths per day by prefecture, this is the highest number ever in Japan, surpassing the record high of 32 in Tokyo (announced on February 3).
Of the announced deaths, three are in their 60s, two in their 50s, and one in their 40s, even the younger generation.
Also, one died at home.
This is the number of 12 people who died at home from March to 29 in Osaka prefecture.
One of the factors behind the increase in deaths is the medical care provision system, which is in a critical situation.
As of the 29th, the number of critically ill patients is 390, but there are 337 beds for critically ill patients, and 58 are continuing treatment at mild and moderate medical institutions.
It may take time to transport by ambulance because the hospital to accept the patient cannot be found, and there are cases where treatment is not in time.
