COVID-19 epidemiology and intervention strategies in Turkey

Abstract

Turkey is one of the countries which have taken precautions against the COVID-19. The precautions taken brought the first case in our country to be seen later than many countries and to spread the epidemic less. After the first COVID-19 case was detected in our country on March 11, 2020, the four periods of 14 days have been examined separately about the course of the epidemic and the public health interventions implemented in these periods. And the results it has generated between the periods have been evaluated. The steady decline in case of increase shows we have controlled the epidemic.
