The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) reported a significant decrease in COVID-19 deaths in hospital emergency rooms (IGD). From August 1st to 27th, 2021, the number of deaths reached 326.
This figure represents an 83.1% decrease compared to the previous month. In July 2021, 1,931 people died from COVID-19 in hospital emergency rooms.
A similar trend is observed in the number of COVID-19 infected patients admitted to hospital emergency rooms. The highest surge occurred in June 2021 with 5,897 patients, a 142.4% increase from May 2021 (2,433 patients). The number of infected patients admitted to hospital emergency rooms then increased again by 95.3% to 11,516 in July 2021.
However, this trend did not continue. In August 2021, the number of COVID-19 infected patients admitted to hospital emergency rooms decreased by 61.8% to 4,402.
According to Kemenkes, this decrease is due to a reduction in the number of COVID-19 patients arriving with oxygen saturation below 95%. In July 2021, 69% of patients had oxygen saturation below 95%.
This percentage decreased to 56% in August 2021. The breakdown is as follows: 37% of patients had oxygen saturation between 80% and 95%, while 19% had oxygen saturation below 80%.
COVID-19 deaths must continue to be suppressed. This can be achieved by preventing transmission through the implementation of the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap.
