7:20 pm: Fatality rate 'should gradually decline' - Chinese health officials

"I'm confident that it won't require that long of a time period before the effects [of our efforts] will be evident, and Wuhan's case-fatality rate should gradually decline," Jiao Yahui, deputy director of the medical affairs and hospital administration of the National Health Commission, said Tuesday at a daily press conference in Mandarin, according to a CNBC translation. Jiao pointed out that 74% of coronavirus deaths, or 313, are in the city of Wuhan, where there is a case-fatality rate of 4.9%. That's primarily due to lack of hospital beds in the early days of the virus' spread, she said. At that time, she said there were only three designated hospitals with 110 beds for the critically ill. As a result, the other critically ill patients were dispersed to more than 20 other medical institutions, Jiao said. Now, she said, the city has brought in more professional, national-level health care management, and are trying to improve rotation of medical staff to avoid fatigue. The NHC also revealed Tuesday that of those who have died of the virus, males account for two-thirds and females one-third. Over 80% of the fatalities are over 60 years of age while more than 75% had at least one underlying illness. The fatality rate within China outside of Hubei province is 0.16%.
