Covid-19: Patient in ICU as more men found to be at risk than womenA patient who tested positive for coronavirus is under ventilation support, Ministry of Health Director-General Dr Patrick Amoth has revealed. These findings were replicated in Italy where the death rate is currently 7.2 per cent for men and 4.1 per cent for women. Data gathered in 2015 by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that men drink about five times more alcohol than women. There have also been studies to suggest that men may be worse at hand hygiene than women. Dr Amoth confirmed that almost 54 per cent of the positive cases are from people in quarantine.
