The youngest death announced that day was a woman in her 20s, who had been recently listed by the CECC as a severe case. She had no history of chronic disease and had been inoculated with three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT) vaccine.
On April 26, she sought medical attention after experiencing abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea and tested positive with a home rapid antigen test kit. She underwent a PCR test and the result came back positive that night.
She opted to undergo treatment in her home. However, on April 29, her symptoms failed to improve, and she called 119 to be transported to a hospital.
Doctors found that her blood pressure was unstable and she had sepsis. She was then admitted to an intensive care unit for observation.
The symptoms worsened the next day. Suffering from respiratory distress, she was intubated and placed on a ventilator.
Despite efforts by the medical team to save her life, she was declared dead that same day.
Doctors determined that the cause of death was COVID-19 pneumonia combined with septic shock and multiple organ failure. Physicians administered Remdesivir during her hospitalization and a blood bacterial culture was negative, excluding the possibility that her death had been caused by a bacterial infection.
