CORONA FORMULA FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe and the representative of Turkey Doctor issued a written statement warning of the worldwide danger of the outbreak.
The World Health Organization’s most authoritative names in Europe and Turkey have issued a special message for Turkey on the occasion of the holiday. WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr and WHO Representative in Turkey Dr. The statement, co-authored, said that the difficult pandemic was a difficult period for everyone, as well as the mental health of the community, and it was very natural for everyone to want to relax.
In a statement, he said: “but last summer we experienced the same times again. When restrictions were loosened too quickly in some European countries, we observed a sad rise in case increases and deaths across the European region that forced us to quarantine again. Now, after more than a year of pressure on our health systems, our schools, our livelihoods, our economies, our physical and mental health, we must not afford to make the same mistake,” the warning said.

ATTENTION HAS BEEN PAID TO VARIANTS WITH HIGH CONTAGION
Although vaccination continues rapidly in the European region, most of the population is still unvaccinated, the statement said, recalling that variants with high contagion are in circulation.
In the description of the DSO, “at the same time, COVID-19, we see an increase in cases, which led to relaxation of Public Health and social measures; the rate of vaccination is not high, especially among the most vulnerable groups, these low figures, increased hospitalization, and loss of life and causes additional burden on health systems. This year, while we all want to make the most of summer, we urge everyone to be careful to make the summer months safer for everyone, to prevent more people from getting unnecessarily sick and dying, and to end this epidemic sooner,” the statement said.
.
23.9 PERCENT OF EUROPE IS FULLY VACCINATED
Emphasizing that the positive effects of vaccines are already observed in Societies, Dr. Kluge and Dr. In their joint statement, noted: “there is no doubt that vaccines will have an even greater impact on hospitalizations, deaths and reducing pressure on health systems. Still, millions more doses of the vaccine are needed to reach those at highest risk, many of whom are still waiting for their first dose. Health workers, the elderly and people with underlying risk factors should be given greater access to vaccines if we are to see a continued decline in hospital admissions and deaths. Currently, 37 percent of the population in the European region* receives a single dose, while 23.9 percent are fully vaccinated. The data is clear, even in countries with high vaccine coverage, the pandemic is not over. Vaccine inequality across the region continues to be one of our biggest challenges.”
.
ALL VACCINES ON WHO’S EMERGENCY USE LIST ARE EFFECTIVE
The more contagious Delta variant has caused an increase in cases and hospitalizations in the European region, the statement said.
“It is therefore vital that we use the tools at our disposal to prevent transmission and save lives, adapt public health and social measures to local dynamics, and ensure fair, rapid vaccination, ” the statement said. All vaccines with a WHO Emergency Use list, including circulating variants, are safe and effective in preventing heavier passing of COVID-19. We see that there is a very successful vaccination campaign in Turkey. But the need to once again emphasize the importance of vaccination and compliance with protective measures is absolutely undeniable due to the time of the holiday and summer holiday,” he said.
.
IT’S UP TO US WHEN THE EPIDEMIC ENDS
“We are often asked when this outbreak will end, ” the statement said. The shortest answer to this question is that the time to end the epidemic is entirely up to us. The end of the pandemic is the fact that it is in the hands of individuals and governments. We know what works; we have proof. There’s hope. Protecting yourself and those around you is crucial to getting this epidemic under control and finally ending the pandemic. We went through a long process of struggle and endured all the challenges. We can’t drop our defense now,” he said.
.
FORMULA VERIDS FOR A SAFER SUMMER AND HOLIDAY
Dr. outlined the formula for a safe summer with the following items:
First, let’s get our vaccines complete.
Second, if we want to travel, let’s thoroughly assess whether it is necessary. If we have decided to travel, let’s do it as safely as possible, both for ourselves and for those around us.
Traveling safely means assessing our risks of exposure to COVID-19 well from the moment we leave the house until we reach our destination. Everyone should have their own Covid-19 risk Manager, assess health risks and take into account protective measures such as physical distance, crowd avoidance and wearing masks at every step.
Avoid three K’s: indoor, restricted and crowded environments. Decency to meet people, preferably outdoors, outdoors, or in well-ventilated environments, helps protect us all and reduces the likelihood of virus transmission.
Decapitating major sports tournaments, festivals and events that attract crowds for a while, instead increasing public health and social measures, is very important for the health of all of us that we do not allow the virus to become super-spreading.
