Speaking to ATA, Çomo emphasized that, “There is an increase in the number of hospitalized cases from August to September. Currently, about 13-14 people are admitted to the hospital”.

Asked if the high number of tourists who came to our country this summer had an effect on the increase in cases, Çomo emphasized that even last August, when there were not so many tourists, the number of hospitalized people was high.

Those affected by COVID-19 have a variety of symptoms.

“The damage to the digestive system has dominated, but the hospital also looks at damage to the nervous system, the heart, etc.,” added Çomo.

Çomo appealed to the citizens to get vaccinated, especially people who are in the risk groups and who have chronic diseases as well as the medical staff who are more exposed to COVID-19, then other age groups.

She advised that the vaccine against COVID-19 and the flu vaccine, which comes in October, can be received together.

“My biggest advice for citizens remains that hugs, or going to see patients in hospitals or who are in home conditions and have left the hospital should be avoided, as they have the potential to transmit the virus to people who have new chronic diseases or who have undergone interventions “, appealed Çomo./k.s/p.s./
