There are lots of comorbidities which increase the risk of #COVID19 patients. We are taking the role of comorbidities in individual deaths into account. Our teams are working on how we standardize the release of death results.#ECVisit23June
Dexamethasone has been used for a number of years. We are excited to source Dexamethasone at the stage when patients are on ventilators. It only works for people who are on ventilators or on oxygen and does not mean people can neglect precautions.#ECVisit23June
