In his statement on his social media account, Minister Koca stated that the coronavirus has been constantly mutating since the beginning of the pandemic. He said that the whole world turned back to their pre-covid lives except for simple measures after the Omicron variant, and added: "A virus does not disappear completely. In general, it gradually turns into weaker variants. The variant called 'Eris' was seen in our country in a limited number of cases after it was seen in countries where life continues normally. There is nothing to worry about this. Scientists can talk about it but it is not worth being on the agenda for the people. I have already told that the elderly people and those with chronic diseases should take care of themselves as always."
