What is the error-correcting capacity (randomly errors, or burst errors) of polar code?

Polar codes, invented by Arikan, with low encoding and decoding complexity. But the minimum distance of polar codes is not great. The normalized minimum distance goes to $0$ with the block size. Yet, the existing decoding algorithms for polar codes can asymptotically achieve channel capacity.

Generally, a code with minimum distance $d$ can correct $\frac{d-1}{2}$ errors (random errors). And Polar code is also error-correcting code, I was wondering how many errors can it correct( e.g. A $[2048, 614]$ with $BEC(0.19)$ polar code.)? Much appreciated.
