Findings from studies on a group of 322 patients have shown that people in the ages 21-50 years are vulnerable to the COVID-19 infection in Maharashtra. Trends also show that these people have also shown a very low death rate among the 322 patients studied.
Data analysed by the Medical Education Department says no death has been reported in the age group of 1 year to 30 years and only three deaths were reported in the 31-50 years category till Thursday morning. Most deaths (10 out of 13) previously were reported in the 51-90 years category. Of total samples tested till Wednesday night, 95% turned out negative, says the report. There are more male (200) patients than females (122) in the group that was studied.
