Ankara, where the epidemic advanced very quickly, one of the most commonly seen provinces in the case of the choir in Turkey. Health Minister Fahrettin Koca listed the provinces where the number of new patients tended to increase on August 2 as Ankara, Mardin, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep and Konya; August 9 in contact with infected people compared with May, the conversion rate is a 1.3-fold increase in positive cases in Turkey announced that it reached a solid 1.6, but this increase is generally Ankara.
Member of the Scientific Committee of Hürriyet and Head of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the University of Ankara Prof. Dr. İsmail Balık told Hürriyet Ankara this data: “The capital has been alarming for a while. Cases are increasing, additional measures are taken. There is a much more serious situation especially for the winter months ”.
2 Press after the Scientific Committee meeting in September, the Minister of Health met with members of her husband, this time from Ankara, “most of the provinces where the number of cases in Turkey,” as he was speaking. By saying that “Ankara has doubled over Istanbul,” KocaIn the continuation of his speech, “Konya has stopped a bit, but there is an increase in Kayseri and Ankara. Ankara also stands out from Istanbul, ”he repeated the situation. On September 7, he wrote on his Twitter account that Ankara is our city with the most daily illnesses this time. In his September 15 post, he announced that they met with Ankara health managers İzmir, Kayseri, Çankırı and Adıyaman separately in a video conference and discussed the reasons for the increase in cases, intensive care capacities and radiation rates.

But what distinguishes Ankara from other cities? Why has the epidemic increased so much? What steps should be taken? What should be done to prevent Istanbul and other large cities from experiencing this increase? We asked the experts these questions and Hürriyet Ankara representative Hande Fırat shared his observations about the city.
“PEOPLE WILL RUN TO HOSPITALS WITH THE FLU OUTBREAK IN OCTOBER”
Dr. Ali Karakoç, President of the Ankara Medical Chamber
The number of healthcare professionals diagnosed with COVID-19, which was reached and confirmed by the Ankara Medical Chamber on September 16, increased to 882. I am one of the doctors on duty in the pandemic service. We do not make statements to create an atmosphere of panic. The epidemic is out of control in Ankara.
Based on the information we receive from polyclinics and radiation teams, 60-70 percent of our corona-positive patients are employees and public personnel in factories and workplaces. For this reason, the production of non-essential goods and services must be stopped as soon as possible.

After the rapid opening of public institutions as of June 1, the disease spread in those tight environments. Another important factor is: Ankara is a health base in Anatolia. For two months, young students from Turkey come to apply for the National Defense University. The examination of the delegation of these children is carried out only in Ankara. There are also patients from neighboring provinces.
Radiation equipment is exhausted. Among these teams, there are mostly dentists, but now all employees of the Provincial Directorate of Health or the Ministry of Health, including the body shop, have been distributed to the filling teams. The film crews must be renewed so that Istanbul does not get into this situation; Teams should include doctors, nurses, and health officials trained in this work.
In Ankara, we currently administer medications and treat most of our patients at home, increasing the number of contacts. The old man is at home, but it makes no sense for his son to go to work. There will be a seasonal flu epidemic in October and November, citizens will rush to hospitals faster. I am seriously concerned.
Members of the Turkish Medical Association commemorated citizens and healthcare professionals who lost their lives wearing a black belt last week.

“THERE ARE NO PEOPLE AT THE HOSPITAL DOOR”
Assoc. Dr. Afşin Emre Kayıpmaz, Member of the Health Sciences Committee of the Ministry
The rise of recent weeks in Ankara has stopped, the course of the epidemic continues in a horizontal line. Our radiation teams were at the origin of the epidemic and made a great contribution to controlling the epidemic with early treatment and isolation. Our Ankara City Hospital healthcare professionals are making an effort to diagnose and treat approximately 60 percent of COVID-19 patients in Ankara. None of our people are turned away from hospital doors, medications are given to our patients at the hospital or taken home for early treatment. There is a great effort from our health army of 1,100 thousand people. Administrative measures are taken such as overtime and public transport rules, the use of the HES code and the obligation to wear a mask. Here, our people also have a great job to do. In the long term, the use of masks, hand hygiene, adherence to the distance rule, and not meeting with more than three people in social settings are much more valuable than the quarantine decision that must be made for a certain time frame. Our schools are scheduled to open tomorrow. Although there is a risk of this happening, it also exists for our children who play in the garden with their friends in the street. Despite all measures, it will be closely monitored whether there will be an increase in the number of cases due to the school. Additional measures can be taken depending on the situation.
“ISOLATION CENTERS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED”
Prof. Dr. Sinan Adıyaman, President of the Central Council of the Turkish Medical Association
Ankara, Turkey’s new in Wuhan. The epidemic advanced very rapidly in the city. The most important reason for this is that this is a city of bureaucracy. Most public employees work in tall buildings like skyscrapers. They go to their workplaces by public transport. Currently, some of our patients who have a positive PCR test and have to go to bed are waiting in the hallways. Patients with moderate and mild pneumonia are treated at home, but sometimes have trouble accessing medications. When he arrives at the hospital and says, “We are not getting any medicine,” the disease continues to spread. It is not possible to control the conditions in the houses. For this, isolation centers must be established using local governments. The number of radiation equipment should be increased. But that doesn’t mean home visits or taking medicine; It is very important to determine the contacts of these people.
39 doctors in Turkey, 93 health workers lost their lives. This number is growing rapidly. The number of our friends who are victims of violence is also very … Some of our friends are depressed and feel worthless.
“SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR THE CAPITAL”
Hande Fırat, Representative of Hürriyet Ankara
“Are the figures correct?” Those who do … There is great unrest in Ankara. The interprovincial transit point of Ankara and that the total breach of the mask distance rule as in all of Turkey in Ankara, led the capital to that point. On the other hand, the center of the capital’s politics. Large meetings, the organization held with Turkey on the next representative, Awards ceremonies were held and are still continuing. Despite the dedication of health professionals and the sensitivity of the ministry, the occupation of our closest hospitals We listen to the rates. I believe that it is vital that people protect themselves and follow precautions. However, I think that in the framework of economic conditions, the state should take some radical special measures for Ankara at least until the numbers are reduced. The most important thing is that statesmen, politicians, businessmen, people in front of the public take a break from meetings, weddings and crowded organizations for a time. It is also very important that they be an example for everyone.
“A VERY SERIOUS MOVEMENT ALSO BEGAN IN ISTANBUL”
Dr. İbrahim Akkurt Chest disease specialist
I first diagnosed a corona positive patient on March 20. Then I worked with all my might until morning. In May, I examined a husband and wife with COPD. He had a mask, but they were not wearing it properly. I got infected during this exam. After me, my wife and daughter got sick too. At the beginning of the epidemic, we limited the situation considerably because the measures were followed. But in June, the opening of shopping malls and workplaces, restaurants and cafes, as well as the fact that young people are carriers and contagious, increased the balance.
The most important reason the epidemic is increasing in Ankara is that this is a city of civil servants. Many employees returned from vacation. Weddings attended by people living in Ankara are another factor. Additionally, the cases in Antalya were transferred to Ankara and Konya to keep tourism going in the city, which carried the virus to other areas. The rise of the epidemic in Ankara on each side of the screen will be the same in Turkey as soon as possible. In fact, Malatya, Kayseri, Van and Diyarbakır are in the same situation. A very serious movement started in Istanbul a few days ago. Each side of the moment returned to Turkey in the early days. Autumn is ahead of us. I suppose we will experience the first stage of the epidemic 5-10 times. We have to take measures to guarantee public measures and social isolation as soon as possible.
