Will the new coronavirus infection kill people?

COVID-19 infection is an infectious disease with a high mortality rate and is fatal.

However, it should be noted that although COVID-19 infection may lead to death, many patients can recover after active treatment. Most of the cases of death are elderly patients or patients with more underlying diseases. For people with poor immune function and underlying diseases, active treatment should be given, while strengthening exercise and regular rest to improve immunity. Therefore, once infection is diagnosed, active treatment should be given in order to recover as soon as possible.
