only 1 person died (mortality rate = 0.07%)

The Vitamin D water was given to every Buddhist in the quarantine center. not just given upon entry to the center
A total of about 300 people were tested for vitamin D levels both before and after.
The initial level varied: mostly around 12-18 ng/mL
However, those monks who had gone out for alms (with head, shoulders, and feet exposed to the sun) had ~40ng/mL.
The vitamin D water given was based on a proposal by Vitamin DWiki
