Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic is an acute public health event that is rapidly progressing, which can adversely affect human health and requires rapid intervention. In order to prevent and control such an epidemic that does not yet have an effective treatment and vaccine and can be transmitted easily, it is necessary to make risk assessments, review interventions, and strengthen and relax the measures from time to time. In this article, the concept of risk assessment is discussed, and then, the international guidelines are reviewed and the risk indicators that can be used during the ups and downs of the COVID-19 outbreak and the intervention indicators required to manage this risk are examined. Variables that can be considered when evaluating their own situation at the provincial level are presented. In order to carry out the risk assessment required to direct the interventions to control the outbreak, it was emphasized that expert teams need to be formed, cooperation between sectors and institutions should be established, the right questions should be asked, information about the outbreak should be accessible and transparent, and effective risk communication and community participation should be assured.

Özet

COVID-19 salgını hızla ilerleyen, insan sağlığını olumsuz etkileyebilecek ve hızlı müdahale edilmesi gereken akut halk sağlığı olayıdır. Henüz etkin tedavisi ve aşısı olmayan ve kolay bulaşabilen böyle bir salgını önlemek ve kontrol altına almak; salgının her evresinde risk değerlendirmesi yapmayı, müdahalelerin gözden geçirilmesini, zaman zaman önlemlerin güçlendirilip, gevşetilmesini gerektirmektedir. Bu yazıda risk değerlendirilmesi kavramı ele alınmış, ardından ülkemizde yerel düzeyde uygulamak üzere, uluslararası rehberler gözden geçirilerek COVID-19 salgınının yükselme ve iniş dönemlerinde kullanılabilecek risk göstergeleri ile bu riski yönetmek için gerekli olan müdahale göstergeleri incelenmiştir. İl düzeyinde karar vericilerin kendi durumlarını değerlendirirken dikkate alabilecekleri değişkenler sunulmuştur. Salgının kontrolüne yönelik müdahalelere yön vermede gerekli olan risk değerlendirmesinin yapılabilmesi için, uzman ekiplerin oluşturulması, sektörler ve kurumlar arası işbirliği, doğru soruların sorulması, salgınla ilgili bilgilerin erişilebilir ve şeffaf olması, etkin bir risk iletişiminin ve toplum katılımının gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.
