Hi, everyone!
I read an article recently, but I don't understand this:
The cabinet’s decision to approve the emergency funds comes after the death of a woman in her 80s in Japan’s Kanagawa Prefecture and the announcement of several more cases that do not appear to be directly linked to the cruise ship or individuals who had recently traveled to China.
Friday morning, authorities said they had confirmed a new case: a man in his 70s in Wakayama Prefecture who had visited a hospital where a doctor who was also infected had worked. A colleague of the doctor and another patient had also come down with symptoms of pneumonia and were being monitored, officials said.
What's the exact meaning of 'in her 80s' and 'in his 70s'? it just means 'a more than 70-year-old woman' and 'a more than 80-year-old man'?
Thanks in advance!
