“We know that the mask protects more than 90 percent”
Emphasizing that society now knows how the increase in cases can be reduced, Koca used the following statements:
“Together with our citizens, we must follow precautions with special sensitivity. I underline the mask. Because the period to come is a period in which viral infections will be intense and has already begun. But this upper respiratory tract infection, that is, the mask and distance from all droplet-borne infections is extremely important. In this sense, we believe that we will see that these upper respiratory tract infections will decrease even more in the next period, if we follow the precautions and the mask rule. “
When asked if asymptomatic cases could be tracked and the number of cases was not fully reflected in the table, Koca said this has been on the agenda since the case or patient definitions were made. Koca noted the following:
“Gölgelemeyel Turkey comes down to fighting our concept of pandemic patient-cases. I am a very clear expression of this. We are treated especially in our guide, the guide prepared by the Science Board, symptoms that we are among the countries with testing to those findings. Oxford prepared by the world map as Turkey map three separate we are among the countries that test people with symptoms. This has been our testing policy from the beginning. “
After noting that, as of July, 153 thousand people have been tested in the field with cross-sectional examinations such as those arriving at the airport or those traveling abroad, such as the tests carried out on the military during the summons and discharge period, in OIZs, prisons and athletes, Koca continued like this:
For this reason, this table has been on the agenda since July, and we have defined patients in July, who have symptoms, who have a positive test, as patients. As there were no cross-sectional scans before, the definition of ‘patient’ for the citizen in terms of being more transparent for the citizen. We will report on these cross-sectional scans from time to time and share them with the World Health Organization.
I talked about the tests carried out at airports today, of 490-odd tests. We are talking about this normal positive rate of 1,200-odd, that is, 0.25 percent, 25 per 10,000. Starting today, we will report this to the World Health Organization. In other words, this personal scan was a number that was not among the patients in our previous issues. You know this is done there for OIZs, athletes and even in the private sector with personal preference. The tests carried out there are also in our system. Therefore, we will share them with you from one place to another, when we do, we will report them to the World Health Organization. “
Explaining that this was not a change in testing policy in the new period, and that this occurred with additional scans, Koca said: “It was for the patient to be written there, to give that number in a transparent way, to make the distinction Therefore, there should be no confusion in this regard, he said.
