Coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which first appeared in China in December 2019, has spread all over the world, and the number of cases is rapidly increasing in our country.
There is data that coronavirus infection progresses worse in chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart, lung and kidney disease and in patients with suppressed immune systems.
To protect from virus infection, follow general health rules (wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, social distance, isolation, etc.)
Routine routine unless there is an emergency. Postpone your check-ups and do not apply to health institutions.
Since any supportive medication and vitamins will not help to protect against coronavirus infection, avoid such unnecessary and harmful practices.
Contribute to your nutrition, physical activity and sleep. be careful.
Make sure you drink enough fluids.
There is not enough evidence whether this virus infection affects people with thyroid disease. There is currently no scientific data to suggest that it worsens the course of thyroid diseases.
It is recommended that the thyroid hormone treatment given to patients due to thyroid hormone deficiency be continued at the same doses. It is recommended to postpone regularly scheduled check-up dates in these patients. In order to adjust the dose in pregnant patients, it is recommended to perform more frequent examinations and adjust the dose.
In those with high thyroid hormones and therefore using antithyroid drugs, it may be necessary to make timely measurements and adjust the drug dose.
If you have persistent fever, dry cough, sore throat, shortness of breath and respiratory distress, immediately call the SABİM 184 support line, which is the Ministry of Health Advisory Line.
