In the Covid-19 pandemic, which affects the entire world, record cases and deaths continue to arrive every day. In this context, one of the topics that are discussed in the fight against Covid-19 in the world is the quarantine process, which can be 14 days and in some cases up to 21 days. Member of the Coronavirus Scientific Committee of the Ministry of Health and Training Officer of the Emergency Medicine Clinic of Ankara City Hospital Assoc. Dr. Afşin Emre Kayıpmaz said that the 14-day quarantine period may change in some cases. Assoc. Dr. Do not lose, said:
“THE SYMPTOMS ARE MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAN THE RESULT OF THE PCR TESTS”
“If the person has survived the illness in intensive care or there is an illness related to the immune system, then it can take up to 21 days. Theoretically, you can detect positivity in the PCR test at day 30 or 35. But the important thing here is whether the clinical symptoms continue or not. Therefore, we do not necessarily seek the requirement of the PCR test upon return to work for a person whose clinical symptoms do not persist, the only exception is healthcare workers. But we have to say here that if these people have symptoms, that is, if they have clinical symptoms, it is actually much more valuable than the results of their PCR tests. That is, the PCR test can show positivity for long periods. The point we will consider here is whether the patient has symptoms or not. “
Assoc. Dr. Considering that the PCR test is a test that has the ability to detect even small amounts of virus particles, it can detect virus particles naturally, even if it does not have a disease-causing effect on you. Basically, we know that this dispersion decreases after 10 days in people who survive the disease mildly or on their feet. “For those who required more than 1 day of hospitalization, but did not need intensive care, this can be extended up to 14 days,” he said.
