The elderly, obesity and those who have comorbidities especially suffer from severe covid forms and form a large portion of hospital admissions.
“While more patients were treated at the hospital, doctors have not found too many cases of severe lung infections, as a result of the number of patients in ikus and place Low ventilator sleep compared to the last two waves.
“Almost all patients received have comorbidity or senior citizens.
This population is very vulnerable to Covid.
But fortunately, we have been able to handle these cases in a much better way compared to the previous waves, perhaps due to vaccination.
Even though this virus affects the lungs.
