'DO NOT GO TO HOSPITALS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY'
 
Yerlikaya, emphasizing that antibiotics do not work in virus cases and vitamins did not prove to be effective, said: " Therefore, what citizens should do is not to take medication, but to strengthen their immune systems, take care of their health, eath healthy, get enough sleep.  Therefore, strengthening the immune system is an important point. Otherwise, we cannot solve this disease with medicines. We recommend that those in the risk group comply with social isolation and stay at home."

Yerlikaya, emphasizing the importance of social isolation, said: "Those who shows the symptoms of the virus should not use pain medication. The exceeded priscriptions have been extended. Do not go to hospitals for priscriptions if you have a report. They will be valid until june."
