Özlem Gündüz, co-spokesperson of the HDP Central Organizing Commission, pointed out that the number of cases and the number of people who lost their lives in the epidemic is increasing, and said: "This poses a social risk. We created crisis desks in all provinces against this risk. The priority of these crisis desks is to keep the public at home. In this way, efforts are underway to ensure both self and public health protection. It seems that the most important measure against this epidemic is provided by social isolation.
