Breaking news… Highlights from Minister Koca’s interview with Cüneyt Özdemir:
ISTANBUL BECOMES THE FIRST CENTER OF THE WAVE
No one could predict the pandemic. Anyway, it was not possible to be predictable. The situation was quite bad and Turkey may be affected. Rather, Iran was a transition period that we did not expect. We worry more when there was a transition period to Iran. You know we take strict measures. Especially early in the closing of the limits, shutting down the flight is building in a field hospital on the border at a time when only serious border crossing measures on the day 4 thousand to 4 thousand 500 people arrived in Turkey was going to have eliminated that effect. After the transition period to Europe and Turkey affected by heavy traffic due to the European situation could not be said. For this reason, Istanbul has become the first center of the wave in Turkey.
DOES IT HAVE AN UMREN EFFECT?

We know that many associations have a total effect of transitions. I can say that if the umrah had an effect, it did not have a serious effect on the total. Of course it had an effect. The fact that there was a lot of traffic in Istanbul was 1.3 million people coming from abroad in March alone. It was not possible that Istanbul, with such an intense relationship, was not affected. Let me say this very clearly. To take Iran as an example, when the first effect in Iran started, we as a Scientific Committee discussed and worried a lot. It was Wednesday on such a day and I met with the Iranian Minister of Health on Friday. I said that the city of Kum should be quarantined. They said we shouldn’t worry about this. I went to the funeral of one of our martyrs with our president on Saturday and said that the situation was important. Getting into his car, I said that the situation in Iran is not good and that it will seriously affect us. They stated that they met with Mr. Rouhani and that it was not a problem. I have passed on more specific information. The measure to be taken at that time was the closing of borders. I say it from here, to be a concrete example of the speed and results of the Presidential Government System in the decisions that are taken. Decisions are made by looking at the data. We have been in constant contact with all relevant ministries.
‘WE GIVE THE INFORMATION OUR CITIZENS NEED’
In particular, the pandemic is a fight in which 83 million people must fight together. Although there are those who think differently, we have to ensure the unity of 83 million. No one has the right to demoralize our citizens. We must be in a speech that preserves this mission and strengthens the motivation of 83 million. Here I tell you from day one. I am saying that all the numbers I have given are correct. We have a very serious data infrastructure. We provide the information our citizens need. There was a situation like this. “Why was the case passed on to the patient?” In global testing policy, he was in an approach to reporting positives by conducting common tests. We have a testing approach in the form of testing a person with two symptoms from day one in Turkey. We tested those with symptoms and reported them to WHO. At a time when the world was normalizing, Europe changed its testing policy. Most of the time we began not to come to the hospital unless there was respiratory distress, and we began to do section scans and field studies for people who had no symptoms, except those with symptoms, with generalized normalization at that time. How do we define the patient? We define it as a person with a patient who tests positive. We prefer to separate them as patients because we did it with people with symptoms.

WILL THE RESTRICTIONS RETURN?
class = “cf”>
We do not believe that the restrictions will go down the road for Turkey. To avoid this increase, citizens must be sensitive, especially at the point of the mask. The mask has properties that prevent all viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. We believe that the more sensitive we show, the more successful we will be.
WILL THE UNIVERSITIES OPEN?
We are trying to see the direction of the universities, especially with the opening of MEB schools in this period. Looking at the development of the epidemic and infection rates in that age group relative to open classes in the coming weeks, a decision or suggestion will be made accordingly. Of course, schools will open in the next period, but it will be gradual depending on the course of this pandemic.
CLAIMS OF RANK HISTORY TO THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH
May our citizens be sure that no one who has engaged their mind, their mind, and somehow makes sure that we will be against and fight against every thought at the point of focus somewhere.
