"It's an epidemic and it's affecting the whole community. We all have deteriorated the rhythm of our children, our elderly, our biological system, sleep, food system in the family environment.

Although young people are actually the most risky group in terms of transmission in our country, the most risky group for the effects of the disease is our elderly over 65 years of age.

That's the kind of process this epidemic is going to happen. Therefore, we closely monitor feedback by making close contact with both academia and non-governmental organizations. Here, we give priority to our citizens with down syndrome, severe disabilities and spectrum disorders for disabled people.

There are currently 523,000 home care benefits.

Exp.

After the first case was seen, we immediately went into quarantine. Our first precaution was quarantine.

Increased the prevention studiess. Even if we look at the clinical findings of our staff working in the institution, we took precautions by taking screening tests without entering the organization, as a risk again.

He said that even people who have finished treatment in the hospital are not taken to the organizations, even if positive after the test is found negative after treatment, the infection period is not taken to the institution because it is long.

We stood by our orphaned elders

While being treated in the hospital, we took our elderly who could not be discharged by their parents for different reasons, corporate care centers, orphaned ones in hotels, guesthouses.

No fees were charged.  The government welcomed them all. Everyone in need of care was served regardless of income status by amending the Law. The strong infrastructure of the integrated health system, our health care system, has allowed us to get through this process.

Have achieved great success compared to European countries

Noting that the rates of those who die in institutional care in all European countries are very high, KOÇ said that the number of people who die in Canada, France and Italy is very high and remarkable to be in corporate care, noting the importance of the virus not entering the institutions..
