Breaking news… These are the highlights of Minister Koca’s statements:
Today we completed our investigations in Diyarbakır. We discuss the latest situation in the region. We detail the current situation in the region keeping Diyarbakır as the center.
As you know, although there is no definitive treatment for this disease, we are one of the most successful countries with early treatments. That’s why we managed to keep the number of deaths low.
With the restrictive measures taken at the beginning of the pandemic, we achieved the decline.
There were environments where social distance could not be maintained. We immediately saw the reflection of this. We experience this process most in the central Anatolia and southeastern Anatolia regions, where family ties are the strongest and known for the greatest devotion to traditions and customs.
Diyarbakır, Mardin, Şanlıurfa, Siirt and Şırnak are among the provinces with an increase in patients.
We look up the bed occupancy rate throughout Turkey.
When we assess the capacity of our patients’ beds, the ICU occupancy rate in Batman is 79%, in Diyarbakır it is 66%, and in Şırnak the ICU occupancy rate is 58%.
The number of intensive care beds was 113 and we will increase our capacity with the addition of 103 beds.
With the addition of 106 beds to our number of intensive care beds in Diyarbakır, we will increase our capacity to 520 beds.
We will increase the number of intensive care units in Mardin to 182 beds.
Look closely at our capacity in our province of Siirt, we will increase the number of beds to 83 beds.
We will increase it to 710 beds with the addition of 110 beds in Şanlıurfa.
Turkey across the bed occupancy rate is currently 51 percent of our intensive care unit fills our rate of 68 percent, our occupancy rate is 31 percent with contained breathing apparatus.

Contact detection is vital in our fight against this epidemic. Our priority is to stop the increase in the number of patients. During this period, family visits should be postponed. Otherwise, the measurements may be insufficient after a while.
We found that 91 percent of the contact persons in Diyarbakır were infected within the family. There is a decrease in the rate of contacts that become cases. However, these data show us that family visits should be postponed. We are rapidly increasing the number of our radiation teams. Contacts and suspects must be isolated.
We will build new hospitals in Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, Batman, Siirt and Mardin. We will begin work on our 750-bed Mardin City Hospital as soon as possible.
Hospitals in our 3 provinces will be built in the state of city hospitals in 6 provinces, and 500-bed hospitals will be built in the other 3 provinces.
Once again it was seen how critical the investments of urban hospitals are in this epidemic period.
The main duty falls on our citizens. We must follow the rule of cleaning and distance from the mask.

We take care that our citizens carefully follow the isolation rules during this period. During this period, our citizens lose their lives. We shouldn’t cause this. Law enforcement is already doing what it takes for this, but we want this to come into play in the end. Now we must know that we must show sensitivity.
Have the details about the additional payments for health workers been clarified?
All of our healthcare professionals who worked during this period made great sacrifices. I think it will not be enough to pay for this with a single payment, but a study was carried out for our healthcare workers, who are at work within the limits of what is possible. The announcement is made today or tomorrow. In-depth work has been done for our teams. Payment will be made for this.
An additional payment for patient follow-up with Kovid will also be announced today or tomorrow in a circular. An arrangement was made for our employees who are interested in Covid, from the roof.
THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOUR MASK AND DISTANCE
Especially 91 percent of us see that there is a contamination for the family. We see that condolence weddings and similar group gatherings are very important in this. Weddings are prohibited. However, the necessary measures for condolences and funeral ceremonies are closely followed and intervened when necessary.
The only way to prevent this is with a mask, distance … When there is enough distance, even a mask may not be necessary, but we often fail to keep our distance.
We will see that the more we can follow these rules during the period of the influenza epidemic, the more we will enter the next covid period, the more we will see in these diseases.
Urban hospitals are being built in 3 provinces, especially for Diyarbakır. Şanlıurfa, Mardin and Diyarbakır. The considered hospital for Diyarbakır has a thousand beds. In the coming months, we want to go to the project and construction contest with the change of plan. Our intention is to lay the groundwork quickly this year.
It will be a city hospital where the Diyarbakır patient can be treated at the highest point.
