PATIENTS WITH CRONIC DISEASES HAVE MORE PROBLEMS
Reminding that organ failure develops in people with more chronic diseases, Dr. İhsan Ateş said, "These people may pass Covid at a more distressing level. We need to be more cautious in these patients. We need to start treatment quickly and if most of the lungs have begun to be affected, we need to control them with steroid therapy and other treatments.

We expect this from our citizens with our hearts and souls."
