SBS exclusively obtained the report 'Status and Tasks of Medical Response to COVID-19' submitted to the government by the National Medical Center yesterday (10th).
According to the report, the fatality rate, which was 0.69% last month, rose to 0.78% during the week of November 1-7, after the gradual recovery of daily life.
In terms of age, those in their 50s and younger fell, but those in their 60s and over increased as they got older.
