Abstract

In this study, COVID-19 data announced by the Ministry of Health (2020-2021) were analyzed and Türkiye's situation in the world was evaluated by comparing it with other countries according to the World Health Organization data. The number of COVID-19 cases in Türkiye increased by 229.3% in 2021 compared to 2020, the number of deaths due to COVID-19 increased by 194.4% and the number of tests increased by 285.7%. In 2021, it is seen that there are serious increases in both the number of cases and the number of deaths compared to the figures of 2020. However, the case/death rates are gradually decreasing. Türkiye's case-based death rate was 9.45 per thousand in 2020, 8.4 per thousand in 2021 and 2.93 per thousand according to the data until July 2022. The top five countries reporting the most cases; USA, India, Brazil, France and Germany. Among the top 20 countries reporting the highest number of cases, the countries with the highest mortality rate due to the case (per thousand); Mexico 52.10, Indonesia 25.64, Colombia 22.62, Russia 20.67, Brazil 20.49, Iran 19.51 , Argentina 13.70, India 12.04 and the USA 11.55 per thousand. While the case-related death rate in the world was 20.84 per thousand in 2021, this rate was 11.45 per thousand as of July 2022. Although the number of cases due to COVID-19 has increased worldwide, it is seen that the death rate has decreased. In Turkey, the death rate per case is 6.52 per thousand. We can say that the health infrastructure is strong and the policies implemented are effective in the fight against COVID-19 in Türkiye.
