Here are the highlights of Koca’s comments …

The purpose of these study visits and meetings is more than one. The first is to be in position to fight the epidemic. Control and monitor our ongoing investments in health in our cities. I counted 3 reasons for our city-city visits. The fourth reason is that we have to come here and tell you about the necessary determinations to be made against the epidemic. One of the important reasons is the widespread use of the mask cleanliness and distance rule. We enter the fall months, which are quite risky compared to the summer. We are ahead of winter. Most of our time will now be spent indoors. Fall and winter will be the months of opportunity for the coronavirus. If the coronavirus enters and spreads through it, it will be difficult to fight the epidemic. You can protect yourself from both with the same measures.

THE NUMBER OF CORONAVIRUS CASES IN THE WORLD REACHED 39 MILLION

The epidemic, which made life around the world unrecognizable, began in December last year. It no longer makes sense where it started. According to available information, the virus has infected at least 39 million people equivalent to today. Remember that this number was 1 at the beginning. Number 1 reached 39 million. When we analyze the risk of transmission, the number of active cases worldwide is many times higher than in recent months. As of October 15, the daily case worldwide is 429,122. The estimated number of active cases in the world exceeds 70 million. It has achieved significant success against the coronavirus in humanity. First of all, we know very well how the virus is transmitted and the precautions to take. Unfortunately, there is time for a radical solution. During this time, we must not let the virus pass. The mask is an essential precaution because contamination occurs through breathing.

MEASURE WARNING

Mask protection is known to reach 90%. The risk of these concessions increases as of today. Don’t forget to wear a mask outside your home. Make sure to take advantage of the HES app, which is a risk guide for you. Unfortunately, interest in HEPP implementation in the East is low. Aside from crowded places, workplaces are environments that need attention. The business environment is unlikely to be a carrier for anyone. Social distance is the second measure against the virus. The closer the distance between us, the more easily the virus is transmitted through the respiratory tract. Hand cleaning is our third measure. We must be meticulous about this beyond our habits. Until the vaccine is found, tough times await the world. The WHO director said yesterday that if no serious action is taken in Europe, death rates could increase 5 times compared to April. WHO’s concern is not in vain. When we look country by country, we see a disappointing picture. In some countries restrictions were applied. Some have strict rules.

ANNOUNCED THE PROVINCES OF AUMENTO

About 1 month ago there was an invasive case in Turkey. Compared to 1 month ago, we have locked the spread. Of course, now it is a risk in Istanbul, Bursa, Kocaeli, Denizli and Kahramanmaraş. There are control mechanisms against those who do not obey the measures and act irresponsibly.

CURRENT SITUATION IN 8 PROVINCES

We see a 60% decrease in the number of cases and polyclinics in Erzurum compared to the previous month.

75% of cases in Ağrı in the last week compared to the previous month,

In Bingöl, there is a decrease in half

Half decrease compared to last month in Ardahan

The number of cases decreased by 65% ​​in Erzincan.

There is also a halving in Iğdır.

Back in Kars, 25% compared to the previous month,

We see a 40% decrease in Tunceli.

In this sense, the number of cases has decreased in all the provinces that we evaluate today, but there should be no complacency.

INCREASE IN FILATION TEAMS

At Erzurum, we increased the number of film crews to 248 in the last month. This number is 70 in Ağrı, 40 in Ardahan, 63 in Bingöl, our film crew works in the field. We have 60 in Erzincan, 30 in Iğdır, 72 in Kars and 40 in Tunceli.

We completed our Erzurum city hospital with 1,500 beds and put it into service when the epidemic started. We saw that our city hospital made great contributions to our region during the epidemic period. Construction of the physiotherapy hospital continues in Ağrı.

QUESTION ANSWER
FACE-TO-FACE EDUCATION

There will be an evaluation by the Scientific Committee on how the staging should be done, what classes should be opened and how, I think within the next 1-2 weeks.

HOUSEHOLD VACCINE AND VACCINE STUDIES

class = “cf”>

There are 6 vaccines in the world that have reached phase 3. Two of these vaccines were administered to our volunteers. One is Pfeizer, the other is the Chinese vaccine and there is a vaccine that reaches phase 3 in Russia. However, regarding the phase 3 vaccine that they wanted to do in Turkey, but we see that the complete file was incomplete, I want to express that if it is completed, it could start next week. Vaccines were allowed to have different effects, regionally and from person to person, on the condition that we want to see the effect of the vaccine on our people. We will be able to know the results of these vaccines in 1-1.5 months at the latest. We collaborate closely with these companies. If we see the protection, the immunity status and we are satisfied, we plan to provide these vaccines and use them. This year, if the immunization of vaccines, which are currently in phase 3 studies, is positive, we may be able to apply it to our citizens this year. It could probably be December. We want to quickly pave the way for outstanding and successful jobs and get them into production. 4 of these vaccines have progressed, 2 of them have completed animal studies. The filling of a vaccine, which we call inactive, has also been completed, so its production and filling has also been completed. It is necessary to ensure that the work is sterile before applying the sterile work. So you must have passed that stage, it takes 2 weeks. Meanwhile, isolation of the volunteers will be provided. Once this has been completed, it has been applied to the volunteers, that is, the phase 1 study will begin.

CASE NUMBER

We do not inform the WHO of anything that we do not report to our citizens. When we inform our citizens, we inform the WHO

FIELD WORK

Field studies were applied to 153 thousand people and we shared their results with our citizens. Both the transport rate and the level of antibodies, which were carried out for the purpose of immunological mapping, were a study to determine the protection rate. Carrier was twenty-six out of ten thousand, immunity was eighty-two out of ten thousand. I said we start on the 15th of the month. We do this together with TURKSTAT. We want to know this distribution clearly depending on the province. We are talking about a field scan with 95% reliability. We are in favor of doing this continuously in 1-1.5 months. These homes have been identified and will start from next week. Completes in 1 week and 10 days. We will also share it with our citizens and notify WHO. Since July, we want to disseminate cross-sectional studies to people without symptoms, in airports, OIZ and similar places, in open schools, and later in universities if necessary. I have said that we have more than 1200 positive cases of the test, which has been carried out about 490 thousand times related to the work carried out in the airports. We will share the tests carried out in OIZs, prisons and athletes with our citizens. We will also notify WHO. We do not blank people who have no findings but are carriers related to positive cases obtained from these studies. You are forming a wrong opinion. We isolate all citizens that we find positive and have no symptoms. We also make your contacts, that is, the filling. We isolate your contacts and follow them for 14 days. We call these people every day through the calling system. Because even if there are no symptoms of you in the epidemic, we must prevent contamination of all those who are carriers. If necessary, we send doctors to these people. If we don’t do this, we won’t have a chance to get results. In this sense, we see that there is no problem, people who do not have this positive symptom but who are carriers and pollutants are at risk and we process them in the HES. Since these people are risky, they can’t possibly go anywhere.

class = “cf”>

ARE THE ADDITIONAL MEASURES SUBJECT?

class = “cf”>

We do not consider a new measure in addition to the measures taken in the current period. This does not mean that it will never happen. Six weeks ago there were serious increases in Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Urfa and Batman. We continue to show our sensitivity to the measures we have taken during the period of these increases. We are in an effort to give free medicine. As such, pneumonia rates are decreasing by the day. This is the result of drug applications. If not applied, a 5 times higher rate of pneumonia could occur. If our citizen shows sensitivity in the proportion of not entering masks and crowded environments, no additional measures are necessary. We are confident that we can get results if everyone does their part. Now we know the virus. As we are entering the winter period, we know that viral infections will increase and influenza will increase even more. In the southern hemisphere, influenza is almost absent. There are publications that claim that the mask has an effect on all viruses transmitted by droplet infection. By saying this, I don’t want to weaken the effect of the vaccine. But I want to say that we are protected from many viral infections with the mask until the effective vaccine is released. If everyone is sensitive about this, we can get through this period without taking additional action. We will not fall into a situation in which Europe has fallen.
