From March until December of this year, over a thousand Kosovars have died as a result of coronary infection. Large numbers of deaths have been recorded in the last few days. During Thursday alone, the National Institute of Public Health has reported 22 deaths from this disease. But will the death toll continue during the coming weeks?
14 infected with COVIED-19 have died during the last 24 hours in the country. The high death toll from this disease will continue during the coming weeks, despite the decline in the number of new cases.
At least that's how the Kosovo nitrologer, Ilir Tolaj, warns, who has explained the reason for this.
“Deaths as a rule go for 2-3 weeks behind infections. So that the death toll could continue to be high, even for a few weeks, even though the number of new cases with COVID-19 could be in decline”, Tolaj said.
Compared to the first wave of pandemic, Tolaj says there are fewer dead.
He has directed criticism at the address of the National Institute of Public Health, saying they are unable to come up with even such a simple analysis.
The number of deaths in proportion to the number of infected is not greater than it was in the first wave. The number of infected in the second wave is evidently greater than in the first wave, while the number of deaths is smaller. It's true. I KSHP is not able to come up with such a simple analysis and make it public for the opinion”, Tolaj said, writes Express.
The lowest death toll in this wave of pandemic, Tolaj links it to the age of the infected.
The world's “, during the second wave of pandemic, is seen as having a smaller death toll in carahasim, even with hospitalized ones. That's because infected age groups are younger and because doctors have an experience in treating these cases. The same reasons may be to some extent in us. Unfortunately, some countries, even in the region, are exempt from this” rule, Tolaj said.
In contrast, from the beginning of the pandemic so far, over 151 thousand Kosovars have been tested. Of them, positive results have resulted in 42 thousand and 377, and 1,000 and 87 cases of death have been recorded.
Currently, there are 13 thousand and 469 active cases in the country.
The total number of positive cases is 42.377 cases out of 151,363 suspected persons in the SARS-CoV-2 virus and 1,087 cases of death. During the last 24 hours, 678 patients have been cured until the total number of cures to date is a total of 27.821 cases, while the number of active cases is 13,469<18x1>, said the latest IKSHEP report on the country's epidemiological situation.
