Dr. Anwar Hamdani, Director, Medical Technology Services, says that 60-65% of the daily Covid deaths in the country are due to those who have not received the Covid booster dose.
The number of Covid deaths in the country has also increased by 17%, he said.
“The number of hospitalizations of those who have not received the booster vaccine is between 8 and 10%. About 60% of those who die unfortunately do not receive the booster dose. About 30 deaths a day are reported during this time. So it’s clear that there is a very strong point in this that needs to be looked at in comparison to other countries. Because this is a global epidemic. This is not an epidemic specific to our country. We introduce this booster dose after studying the methods and procedures they are implementing in other countries as well as in developed countries. The main purpose of introducing this booster dose is to protect yourself. That’s why you have to come forward to protect yourself. It protects you, us, society, and the country.”
“Compared to the last week, the reported number of patients has increased by about 20%. At present, the death toll has increased by 17%. We see an increase of about 12% in the number of patients who are dependent on oxygen. At the same time, we see an increase of about 3% in the number of patients in the intensive care units. In a situation like this, there are only a few best things we can keep hope for. By now we have given the first dose to about 95%; The second dose to about 80%; and the booster dose up to 44% of the population over 12 years. The point is, now we can see an increase in mortality as a percentage, an increase in the percentage of patients who are dependent on oxygen, an increase in the number of patients being referred to the intensive care units. So with the booster dose, we can reduce those percentages.”
Accordingly, the total number of Covid deaths in the country has increased to 15,874 yesterday.
The total number of Covid infections in the country has increased to 630,599. Of these, 595,649 have been cured so far.
