It was stated that flu infections have increased as the weather in Trabzon has been changing from hot to cold in recent days and the flu epidemic, which has been active since September last year, continues.
Making evaluations on the subject, Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) Faculty of Medicine Farabi Hospital Head of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Department, Prof. Dr. Gürdal Yılmaz said, “The influenza epidemic has not ended; the epidemic that started in September is still continuing.”
Noting that infections increase as the weather changes these days, Yılmaz said, “The time of weather changes is the time when infections are most intense. Since it is the time of weather change, we cannot find a place in the infectious diseases service. With this change, all kinds of infections appear. The influenza epidemic is not over; The epidemic, which started in September, is still continuing. We hope that it will not happen in the summer. Coronavirus was also present in the winter, but it remained at the forefront. I think we will see the coronavirus again, but we will encounter it less frequently. It is necessary not to come into contact with the person, the person who is sick must use a mask. The world has become very small now, with the ease of travel. There are people traveling from Turkey to China and those coming to Turkey from China. “We can encounter different viruses around the world, but since a certain immunity has been formed in the society, they do not spread as much as before, and those that spread decrease and disappear at that level,” he said.
