BEIJING, CHINA - FEBRUARY 16: A Chinese man wears a protective mask as he stands outside a main entrance at Beijing West Railway Station as it is nearly empty on February 16, 2020 in Beijing, China. The number of cases of the deadly new coronavirus COVID-19 rose to more than 57000 in mainland China Sunday, in what the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global public health emergency. China continued to lock down the city of Wuhan in an effort to contain the spread of the pneumonia-like disease which medicals experts have confirmed can be passed from human to human. In an unprecedented move, Chinese authorities have maintained and in some cases tightened the travel restrictions on the city which is the epicentre of the virus and also in municipalities in other parts of the country affecting tens of millions of people. The number of those who have died from the virus in China climbed to over 1650 on Sunday, mostly in Hubei province, and cases have been reported in other countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and several others. The World Health Organization has warned all governments to be on alert and screening has been stepped up at airports around the world. Some countries, including the United States, have put restrictions on Chinese travellers entering and advised their citizens against travel to China. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)

Beijing, MINA – Otoritas kesehatan China pada Sabtu (14/1) melaporkan hampir 60.000 kematian terkait COVID hanya dalam waktu sebulan, angka kematian besar pertama yang dirilis oleh pemerintah sejak pelonggaran pembatasan virus pada awal Desember.

“China mencatat 59.938 kematian terkait COVID antara 8 Desember 2022 hingga 12 Januari tahun ini,” kata Jiao Yahui, Kepala Biro Administrasi Medis di bawah Komisi Kesehatan Nasional China, demikian CNA melaporkan.

Angka tersebut merujuk pada kematian yang tercatat di fasilitas medis, dengan jumlah total korban yang cenderung lebih tinggi.

“Itu termasuk 5.503 kematian yang disebabkan oleh kegagalan pernafasan langsung karena virus, dan 54.435 kematian yang disebabkan oleh penyakit yang mendasari dikombinasikan dengan COVID-19,” ujar Jiao kepada wartawan dalam konferensi pers.

Dari pasien yang meninggal, 90,1 persen berusia 65 tahun ke atas.

Jiao mengatakan, pasien COVID-19 dan rawat inap darurat telah memuncak, namun saat ini jumlah pasien COVID-19 yang dirawat di rumah sakit terus menurun.

“Secara nasional, jumlah pengunjung klinik demam umumnya cenderung menurun setelah puncaknya, baik di kota maupun di pedesaan,” katanya. (T/R6/P1)
