'Only symptomatic cases are counted'

In his press conference on September 30, 2020, Health Minister Koca previously indicated that they did not add everyone who tested positive for COVID-19 to the number of daily patients and they considered only the ones who showed the symptoms as "patients."

Until July 29, 2020, the expression of "number of daily cases" was used on the Health Ministry's COVID-19 table. It has then been understood that after this day, it has been changed into "number of daily patients."

Doctors report 'declining neurological function' for Sırrı Süreyya Önder

Doctors treating Sırrı Süreyya Önder, deputy speaker of the parliament and a member of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Equality and Democracy (DEM) Party, have reported that his neurological condition is deteriorating.

Önder suffered cardiac arrest due to torn aorta at his home in İstanbul on the night of Apr 15 and has been receiving intensive care at Florence Nightingale Hospital in Şişli district since then.

After nearly two weeks of treatment, Önder's life-threatening condition is now progressively worsening, said Prof. Çavlan Çiftçi, head of the hospital, during a press briefing today.

"We have reached another breaking point. Our patient's neurological reflexes related to the brain have decreased and brain edema continues," she remarked.

Neurologist Prof. Yasef Özsarfati also acknowledged a "clear neurological decline" compared to early days.

'We can't say anything definitive'

Prof. Ertan Sağbaş, who led Önder’s emergency surgery, explained that the neurological condition has begun to affect lung function, causing pulmonary edema.

"Although the lungs are affected, the ECMO machine is fully supporting both heart and lung function," he said, adding that Önder has currently no problem with circulation or oxygenation.

However, he said, "We cannot say anything definitive about his neurological, cardiac, or pulmonary condition. We look at momentary data and organize the treatment."

"One of our biggest fears is infection, we have protected him so well so far," Sağbaş added.

He also noted that Önder has not been given any sedatives for eight days. "There has been no sign of awakening, and no improvement in reflexes. We are still trying to achieve a miracle," Sağbaş said.

Earlier in the morning, the hospital issued a written statement confirming that Önder's neurological condition has continued to worsen despite maintaining hemodynamic stability with ECMO and inotropic support.

Journalist Ceren Kaynak-İskit dies at 38 — Ceren Kaynak-İskit/Facebook

Journalist and press freedom advocate Ceren Kaynak-İskit passed away on Apr 25 in Ankara after suffering multiple organ failure caused by a widespread viral infection. She was 38.

İskit was hospitalized early Friday morning with a stomach-related complaint. It was later determined that a flu-like infection had spread throughout her body, leading to her death.

The news was announced by the DİSK Basın-İş union. “We are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of our journalist friend Ceren Kaynak İskit. As DİSK Basın-İş, we extend our condolences and patience to her family, loved ones, and friends.”

The Ankara Branch of the Contemporary Journalists' Association (ÇGD) also released a statement, describing İskit as a journalist who “always stood in solidarity with her colleagues, who never hesitated to go out into the field with her camera during social events, and who continued to practice journalism despite the many challenges and insecurities she faced.”

“In her memory, we promise to never stop practicing journalism," said the association.

People's Houses (Halkevleri), a political organization of which İskit was a member, also shared a condolence message.

"We have lost our comrade, member, and journalist Ceren Kaynak İskit. We will remember her persistence in pursuing the truth and will keep her legacy alive in our struggle. We are grateful that our paths crossed. May the stars be your companions," the statement said.

İskit's funeral will be held today following the afternoon prayer at Ankara Karşıyaka Cemetery Mosque.
