The average age remained fixed at 68, with 85.7 percent suffering from an underlying condition or above the age of 70.
A total of 1,050 people, on the other hand, recovered and were discharged from ICUs.
Twenty-five related fatalities on Thursday (27 on Wednesday) brought the death toll to 5,570. The average age of the victims remained 79, with 95.4 percent having suffered from an underlying condition or were above the age of 70.
