Abstract

The new coronavirus emerging in Wuhan city of Hubei Province of China is the seventh form of coronavirus known to be transmitted from person to person. This disease is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as Covid-19. Also, Covid-19 was declared as a pandemic by the WHO. Many studies have been carried out for the new coronavirus Covid-19 that will contribute to the literature and are still ongoing. The purpose of this study is to examine the existing studies and form a general spectrum about Covid-19. In this study, the studies on Covid-19 have been examined, and what Covid-19 is, how it has emerged, its effect on human health, symptoms, treatment modalities, ways of prevention, and what countries should do. As a result, Covid-19 causes more negative results day by day. For this, more scientific studies are needed about Covid-19.

KÜRESEL BİR SALGIN: COVİD-19

Abstract

Çin’in Hubei Eyaleti’nin Wuhan Şehri’nde ortaya çıkan yeni koronavirüs, insandan insana bulaştığı bilinen yedinci koronavirüs şeklidir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından bu hastalık Covid-19 olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Ayrıca DSÖ tarafından Covid-19, bir pandemi olarak ilan edilmiştir. Yeni koronavirüs Covid-19 için literatüre katkı sağlayacak birçok çalışma yapılmıştır ve yapılmaya devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, gerçekleştirilen mevcut çalışmaların incelenerek Covid-19 hakkında genel bir yelpaze oluşturulmasıdır. Bu çalışmada Covid-19 hakkında yapılan araştırmalar incelenerek, Covid-19’un ne olduğu, nasıl ortaya çıktığı, insan sağlığına etkisi, semptomları, tedavi şekilleri, önleme yolları, ülkelerin yapması gerekenler bir araya getirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Covid-19 her geçen gün daha da olumsuz sonuçlara sebep olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, Covid-19 hakkında daha fazla bilimsel çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
