S. Korea reports most deaths amid spiking critically ill patients
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said the country reported 40 additional deaths from COVID-19, sharply up from 11 reported a day earlier. The total caseload was increased to 859.The KDCA said the jump in the death toll was also partially due to a delay in reporting.
The daily death toll has continued to show double-digit growth since Dec. 15, with the previous high of 24 reported on Dec. 21, the KDCA said.
An average of 19.6 people died of the COVID-19 virus per day over the past week, the authorities said.
The number of seriously or critically ill COVID-19 patients came to 330 on Tuesday, up 35 from the previous day, according to the KDCA.
Authorities said the country continues to witness an increase in COVID-19 patients in critical condition who require oxygen treatment, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), mainly due to an increase in elderly patients.
The average fatality rate for COVID-19 patients came to 1.42 percent, compared with a whopping 15.57 percent among those aged 80 or older as of Monday, the KDCA said. (Yonhap)
