<Anchor> The number of



Corona 19 deaths per day yesterday (14th) was the highest since the count started with 13 people.

In Korea, 600 people have died of corona so far, and the fatality rate, that is, the proportion of people who have died among confirmed cases is low compared to other countries, but the number of severely ill patients is increasing rapidly, so I can not rest my mind.



Medical reporter Cho Dong-chan reported on what measures are needed.



<Reporter>



Corona 19 fatality rate is highest at 9.16% in Mexico, 4.71% in Iran, and 3.5% in Spain and the UK respectively.



It is low at 1.35% in Korea, but as the number of critically ill patients increases, the number of critically ill patients is scarce and medical staff are getting exhausted, so it is unsafe.



To reduce human casualties, strategies to efficiently use limited medical resources are needed.



Looking at the fatality rate by age in Korea, it is less than 0.1% for those under 50, but it increases to 5.34% for those in their 70s and 15% for those over 80.



A recent Swedish study found that patients with heart failure, i.e. heart not beating well enough, taking medications had a 5.2 times higher risk of COVID-19 death, while those on kidney dialysis treatment were 2.8 times more likely to die.



The top priority of quarantine is that patients over 70, heart failure, and dialysis should be placed.



In particular, cases such as the recent deaths in Busan, Seoul, and Gyeongbuk that have not even been given treatment opportunities must be prevented.



[Jeonggihyeon / National Medical Director: that people can live if you can get treatment is to prevent deaths because even therapeutic opportunities realistic goals (must be)]



to quickly treat high-risk bequest box than to find a young asymptomatic infections Manpower must be put in first.



[Jeonggihyeon / National Medical Director because it has a critical care doctors or nurses are very tired (these) particular be nurses a little more quickly reinforce to staff]



to the day of the high-risk subjects before wearing masks, distancing It must be followed more thoroughly.
