Speaking to Habertürk about the coronavirus epidemic, Infectious Diseases Association President Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ceyhan said that fever measurements made in official institutions, airports, schools, cafes-restaurants do more harm than good. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ceyhan said “It should never be done” about putting the children in order in schools for temperature measurement.
“Fever is seen in less than 10 percent of those who have it”
Prof. Dr. Ceyhan said, “The pandemic started in China. When it started in China, the Chinese published more than the data they had. But how many people had no symptoms, they did not have enough information about the treatment methods. Unfortunately, the wrong results of their publications still affect some things. It was said before, that fever is seen in 70 percent of people. However, it was 70 percent of those who had symptoms. Today we know that less than 10 percent of those who have this disease have fever, ”he said.

“WE DO NOT RECOMMEND FIRE MEASUREMENT”
To the question of whether thermometers increase contagiousness or are they actually unnecessary, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Ceyhan gave the following answer: “The biggest reason for the unnecessary is that the disease will not be transmitted unless it is touched, but for example, you are going somewhere. You queue to measure the fever. We do not recommend fever measurement when entering because very few people have fever. If there is fever, it does not mean Covid. We entered autumn now, respiratory tract infections have increased. not.”
