Scientific Committee Member warns for second peak

Professor of Coronavirus Science Board of the Ministry of Health. Dr. Seçil Özkan, regarding the daily number of cases, “We have now come to about 500 thousand numbers. If this number progresses further, if the contagiousness increases, we will have a second peak. Therefore, we should squeeze a little more.” said.

Gazi University Faculty of Medicine Public Health Faculty Member and Science Committee Member Dr. Seçil Özkan stated that the peak of the first wave was experienced and that protection measures should be applied to avoid a second peak. Professor Dr. Ozkan “Protection measures are also mask, distance and hand hygiene. For the mask, the ‘must-wear mask’ came from 52 provinces. This was really effective. People looking around are wearing masks. The trouble is that they are carrying under the nose or chin. If we do not wear it correctly, our number of cases may increase and we can see deaths in people with chronic diseases. We need to get used to controlled social life. ” he spoke.

Professor Dr. Özkan, noting that the mask prevents the droplets carrying the virus from reaching when talking to a sick person, “However, viruses can stay on the outer surface of the mask. So it is not necessary to touch the outer surface of the mask. Open air is a little safer for us. We are more distant from people. Indirectly, the fight against the virus has become a little easier. In the coming days, if there is no vaccine and full treatment, the virus is completely absent. If not, we will come to the winter season. Since we will enter the winter season, we have to reflect these precautions in our lives. ” used expressions.

Saying that the first wave still continues and zero cases are not reached, Özkan said:

We had a peak in April. Of course, we can live a second peak. Now we have come to about 500 thousand numbers. If this figure progresses further, and infectiousness increases, we experience a second peak. It does not suit us, we are a society that can fight it. So we have to tighten our teeth a little more. Social life and business life started. In this process, we can follow our rules and carry out our works. Our society knows this, but it has a hard time reflecting on its behavior. Landscaping is also required to do these things. For example, they say ‘keep the distance in public transport’. It is very crowded and the distance cannot be followed. It is necessary to try to follow the distance as much as possible, to turn our backs and not to face people. By following these precautions, we must try to overcome them. I think that we will live like this for a while in our controlled social life. We have to get used to it.
