<prompt> E ipapisitse le sengoloa, hlalosa hore na sekhahla sa ho kena sepetlele sa COVID-19 se ama sekhahla sa batho ba shoang joang.  <response>: Instruction in English: Based on the article, explain how the hospitalization rate of COVID-19 affects the mortality rate. . Response in English: The hospitalization rate of COVID-19 has an impact on the mortality rate of the disease. When the number of people who require hospitalization for COVID-19 increases, health care systems can become overwhelmed, potentially leading to shortages of critical medical resources such as hospital beds, ICU spaces, ventilators, and medical staff. This could impede proper care for critical patients or even cause delays in treatment. In that case, it is likely that the mortality rate of COVID-19 could rise, as some severe cases may not receive the care they need for recovery. On the other hand, when the number of hospitalized patients is manageable for the healthcare system, hospitals are able to provide patients with the necessary care, which can contribute to a lower mortality rate. . Response in Sesotho: Sekhahla sa ho kena sepetlele sa COVID-19 se na le phello ho sekhahla sa lefu la lefu lena. Ha palo ea batho ba hlokang ho kena sepetlele bakeng sa COVID-19 e eketseha, litsebeletso tsa tlhokomelo ea bophelo bo botle li ka sithabela, tse ka bakang khaello ea lisebelisoa tsa bohlokoa tsa bongaka joalo ka libethe tsa sepetlele, libaka tsa ICU, li-ventilator le basebetsi ba bongaka.
