Member of the Board of Social Sciences of the Ministry of Health and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Gazi University Prof. Dr. Mustafa Necmi İlhan said that the curfew restriction decisions made after an increase in cases were appropriate. Member of the Scientific Committee Prof. Dr. İlhan explained that the curfew has started to come into force and that much attention should be paid to the upcoming New Year. Also, İlhan said that the vaccine is very important to fight the pandemic and stated that he will be vaccinated as soon as his turn comes.
“WE WANT OUR CITIZENS TO BE MORE SENSITIVE”
Stating that citizens generally abide by curfew restrictions, but meetings at home should be avoided, Scientific Committee member Prof. Dr. Mustafa Necmi İlhan said: “When we look at where we have now reached, we observe a decrease in the number of patients and our cases. Maybe not as fast as we would like, but we see that it has dropped from 6,000 to 5,900 to 5,800. Also, when we look at the restrictions of the last week, we see that this decrease is also with the effects that started before the weekend curfews. So when we look at where we are now, along with the effects of these 2 weekend restrictions, we anticipate that the decrease will be more positive starting Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and the number of patients may decrease. , like the beginning of 5,000 and the ending of 4,000. But frankly, it’s not a long-awaited drop that we want so much. We want our citizens to be a little more sensitive. “Our citizens obey the restrictions of the curfew, but we want them not to unite at home, to be a family nucleus,” he said.
“I THINK THAT A RESTRICTION OF AT LEAST 3 DAYS ON THE NEW YEAR WILL BE POSITIVE”

Emphasizing that the New Year should not become a day of reunions, Scientific Committee member Prof. Dr. “People get together on Friday, various families spend the whole weekend together,” said İlhan. It is a good option to relax on weekends but not a good option to meet up. When that is the case, of course, more than one person may appear infected. It shouldn’t do this. At the point where we are now, it seems appropriate to continue with the weekend restrictions. You know we are ahead of Christmas. There is already a curfew for 2 days at the beginning of the year. New Years Eve should also be restricted. On Friday, the day after New Year’s, the curfew already begins at night, covering the weekend. Taking into account that Friday is also a holiday during the day, I think a restriction of at least 3 days would be positive. I think this will be reflected positively both in the case and in the number of patients, “he said.
“THE TRIP MAY BE RESTRICTED BY SPECIAL VEHICLE CONSIDERING THE DENSITY OF THE NEW YEAR”

Noting that intercity travel with a private car can be risky when considering the intensity that can be experienced at the beginning of the year, İlhan said: “Intercity travel with private vehicle is now subject to a special permit. Aside from traveling by private vehicle, perhaps when we think about the intensity of New Years Eve, perhaps only those who go out for business can be allowed to leave before Christmas so that people don’t see it as a party and go elsewhere. In fact, this can already be done. I believe that restrictions can be imposed on those who will travel solely for business reasons, except force majeure, except for reasons such as death.
“IT IS APPROPRIATE TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF CASES AFTER THE FEBRUARY HOLIDAYS TO OPEN THE SCHOOLS”
İlhan, a member of the Scientific Committee, noted that it is early for the opening of schools and that this issue may come to the agenda after the February holidays, depending on the number of cases, “Our Minister of National Education said that it will be evaluated according to the figures. But by the time we arrived, you know all of our students got used to it. I say this as a father of children. They both follow the ABE and follow their own educational system. Therefore, it is as if in this period, as you already know, there will be less time left before the February holidays. “It seems that this period will be more appropriate to keep children at home until the February party, starting with the minors after the February party, gradually, of course, depending on the number of cases at that time,” he said.
“IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL CITIZENS ARE VACCINATED, INCLUDING THE RULES”

Emphasizing that vaccination will contribute to the fight, that the epidemic will not end immediately, therefore, attention should be paid to masks, distance and cleaning rules for a time after vaccination, İlhan said: “It is very important that all citizens are willing to vaccinate and vaccinate within the rules at the beginning of the process. In this case, along with the introduction of the current use in the domestic vaccine in April, of course, with the calculations made at the end of Eid al-Fitr, vaccinating perhaps the whole of Turkey that we look at towards the end of June, seems to be the question . Here, as it is known in the first plan, people such as health workers and those over 65 will be vaccinated, then policemen, soldiers, teachers, municipal employees, media workers between 50 and 64 years old or who are in the risk group of the company. In fact, it is obvious that there will be great success with vaccinating these large groups in the beginning.
“I WILL BE VACCINATED”
Noting that vaccination is very important to break the chain of the pandemic, İlhan said: “I will be vaccinated. When it comes to me, I will have any vaccine available. But it seems that we will be the Chinese vaccine, the Sinovac vaccine. Our Minister of Health had said that health workers will be vaccinated first. As a Scientific Committee, we can get vaccinated together. So it will probably be my first time on New Years Eve. I will have my second dose in January, ”he said.
