Instead of focusing on events such as running, walking, sitting next to each other, we recommend our citizens to protect themselves in this way by focusing on close contact of more than 1 meter in more than 15 minutes. As the members of the Scientific Committee frequently explain, we are talking about a distance of at least 15 minutes and a distance of 1 meter for the contamination. We always want this criterion to be met rather than focusing on the events. ”
‘WE ARE IN GOOD CONDITION BY THE WORLD’
Professor Dr. Şenel stated that it is possible to see the results of the curfew or the restrictions between each province only after 10 days, saying, “We will see the results of this 2-day curfew together in the coming period. And if it is seen that it is not sufficient, it may be possible to take new measures with the recommendations of the Scientific Board. According to the world, we are now in a good position in the fight against Covid-19. We continue our work as the Ministry of Health and the Scientific Committee for this to continue. ”
‘WE WILL SEE CASE INCREASES UP TO THE END OF APRIL’
Professor Dr. Şenel, regarding the speed of virus spread, says, “We see different trends in the world in this regard. There are still countries with an upward trend. However, there are countries that are in a decreasing trend. As stated by our minister in our country, the number of our tests will soon reach 500 thousand and the rate of increase in the expected number of cases is decreasing compared to the increasing number of tests.
EARLY DIAGNOSIS IMPROVES
We see a serious increase in the number of patients recovering with early diagnosis and treatment. As stated by our minister, it was predictable that the number of tests will increase as the number of tests increases. However, we see that there is a decrease in the number of patients in intensive care unit. A topic discussed by the Science Board, where we will see case increases until the end of April. However, it does not seem possible to give an exact number or an exact date. ” DHA
