Process According to Date in The World and Turkey During COVID-19 Pandemic and Effects of Measures Taken to Daily COVID-19 Statistics in Turkey
Abstract
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to update the chronology of the pandemic and to examine the effect of important administrative and political decisions, primarily the curfew, on the number of cases and deaths.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, about COVID-19 important developments in Turkey and the world with were given in chronological order. The effect of curfews on the daily number of cases and deaths was calculated. The effect of curfews on the number of daily cases and deaths was calculated. The conformity of the data to the normal distribution was evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to evaluate the data that did not fit the normal distribution.
Results: There was a gradual relaxation in the tight measures, especially in May, June, July and August. As the number of cases increased again after September, the same measures were gradually introduced again. While curfews are ineffective on the daily number of cases, they cause a decrease in the number of daily deaths. The low number of deaths and significant differences in the days when the curfews were effective show that the people in this group comply with the curfews.
Conclusions: Humanity and all states must be prepared for new and more destructive epidemics. For a more effective result, curfews, which will be meticulously followed by all societies and implemented in the form of complete closure, will quickly stop the spread of the epidemic.
