The COVID-19 death rate in the younger population has come down to merely 0.4 per cent in the last month. It was 2.5 per cent in the earlier months of the pandemic when the mortality rate in citizens above 50 years age was 11 per cent. The death rate in the senior age group is also down to 4.4 per cent.

More cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the working age group. The ratio of patients below 50 and above 50 has been the same since the beginning of the pandemic. Currently, the percentage of patients below the age of 50 is 56 per cent, even though the difference between the mortality rate in these groups is quite different. In July, when the total mortality rate was five per cent, the death rate in the younger age group was 2.5 per cent while in elders it was 11 per cent.
