Dear Editor,
With great respect, we keep seeing daily a simplistic tabular presentation of deaths by COVID-19, irrespective of whether the victims have been vaccinated or not.
What is not indicated are the following:
– Location of death – whether in or out of a health institution, and for how long in the case of the latter
– The record of a containing vaccination programme, particularly in the communities of identified victims.
Simply, how and when are the related families tested and treated? Surely, such information of positive containment should encourage demand for more vaccinations to be delivered? And again, how many survive the ICU at Liliendaal?
A Nonagenarian
Editor’s Note: The Ministry usually informs in its COVID-19 update if persons died while receiving treatment at its medical institutions.
