About

An epidemic of pneumonia , which is thought to have developed due to a new coronavirus, was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of the People's Republic of China, and this epidemic could not be brought under control, leading to other provinces of China in a short time and then to a pandemic.

Causative Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease caused by the new virus (novel) coronavirus-2019 (2019-nCoV) and subsequently the COVID-19. After the virus was officially detected in our country on 11 March 2020, the number of cases increased rapidly and the virus was isolated in 670 patients within 10 days. The group that is most affected by the outbreak and has the highest mortality rate is the elderly with known cardiovascular diseases. It is important to ensure the social isolation of elderly patients and to minimize all hospital applications as much as possible if they do not have life-threatening urgent problems.
