Original title: South Korea has increased by more than 100,000 for 3 consecutive days, and the utilization rate of hospital beds in many places in Japan is close to the limit
According to a comprehensive report, the South Korean epidemic prevention department said on the 19th that there were 104,829 new confirmed cases of the new crown in South Korea, which is the third consecutive day that South Korea has increased more than 100,000 cases. On the other hand, the new crown epidemic in Japan has also continued to spread, and the utilization rate of new crown beds in many places in Japan is approaching the limit.
According to reports, since the South Korean epidemic prevention department notified the country on the 18th that the number of new crown diagnoses in the country exceeded 100,000 for the first time, the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 100,000 for three consecutive days. The epidemic prevention department expects that the number of confirmed cases will continue to increase.
On the other hand, the new crown epidemic in Japan has also continued to spread, and Japan has added more than 200 new crown deaths for five consecutive days. In addition, the utilization rate of hospital beds for new crown patients in nine prefectures, including Osaka and Fukuoka, Japan, has reached more than 70%, and the limit of hospital bed utilization is considered to be regarding 80%.
The report pointed out that if hospital beds continue to be tight, there may be a shortage of beds to receive new crown patients who must be newly hospitalized. If there are more beds, there will be fewer ordinary beds, so non-coronavirus patients will be affected.
