The Department of Health and the Hospital Authority held a briefing today (26th) to analyze the trend of the epidemic in Hong Kong.
According to statistics, there are a total of 12,328 confirmed cases in Hong Kong.
Since May this year, more than 95% of the imported cases have been imported cases. In the past month, more than 87% of imported cases have involved L452R or N501Y strains.
According to the Hospital Authority, according to whether the imported cases were vaccinated, whether they had symptoms during hospitalization, whether the lung tablets were spent, and whether they needed prescription antiviral drugs. The ratio of the three aspects is that both the vaccinated and the non-injected The difference is obvious. The median hospital stay of vaccinated cases is 12 days, and that of unvaccinated cases is 15 days.
According to the authorities, there is still some distance between the population to be vaccinated in Hong Kong and the target. The public, especially the elderly, are urged to vaccinate against the new crown as soon as possible.
According to statistics from the Department of Health, Hong Kong has experienced four waves of epidemics. As of October 25, a total of 12,328 confirmed cases have been recorded.
Since May this year, more than 95% of the cases have been imported cases, with an average of 4 to 5 imported cases per day.
In the past four weeks, of 130 imported cases, more than 87% or 114 cases involved L452R or N501Y, of which 34% were Delta mutant strains, mainly from the Philippines, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
Mortality increases with age
The gender ratio of confirmed cases is 48% men and 52% women, ages from 12 days to 100 years old, 8% under 18 years old, 24% over 60 years old.
Among the 213 deaths, none of the patients under the age of 18 died, and 93% were elderly people over 60. The proportion of deaths increased with age. The mortality rate of patients aged 80 to 89 reached 23%, and that of patients 90 or older reached 32%.
As of October 25th, 4.59 million people in Hong Kong have received the first dose of vaccine, and 4.39 million people have received the second dose, accounting for 68.2% and 65% of the eligible population respectively.
The vaccination rate is 59% for 60 to 69 years old, 40% for 70 to 79 years old, and 14% for people over 80 years old.
Xu Lejian, director of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, believes that the current vaccination figures are still far from the target population. "The risk of infection, serious complications and mortality among the elderly is very high. As localities change prevention and control strategies, the number of cases can rise so fast, and because of the spread of mutant virus strains, and if the virus enters the Hong Kong community, it will cause a large-scale outbreak for some groups that are not properly vaccinated. He appealed to the public, especially the elderly, to get the new crown vaccine as soon as possible.
