Explanation / Answer

Case fatality rate (CFR)is the proportion of deaths within a designated population of

"cases" (people with a medical condition), over the course of the disease.

A CFR is conventionally expressed as a percentage and represents a measure of risk.

therefore CFR = 25/18460 = 0.00135428

CFR is express in percentage form = 0.00135428 *100 = 0.135428% = 0.1%
