Earlier, on the 22nd, a stillborn case was known in Korea where a fetus was infected with Corona 19, but the authorities decided to exclude it from the statistics of confirmed cases and deaths, considering the condition before birth notification. On the other hand, the number of patients with severe serious illness was 661, the highest again in two days. By age, 556 people were over 60, 50s 60s, 40s 25s, 30s 15s, 20s 1s, teens 3 people, and 10 year olds 1 person.
While the medical response capacity has reached its limit, the government is in a position to continue implementing the With Corona policy. In the future, all confirmed patients will be treated at home as a standard.
