This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

COVID-19 infection also require ventilatory support. 1 CCHFV can also be transmitted to HCWs dealing with CCHF patients due to inadequate use of N95 masks, improper hand hygiene, and inappropriate removal of gloves, gowns, and masks after handling blood or tissue products of infected patients.The WHO should collaborate with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Turkey to arrange programs to eradicate the tick population in areas where a high number of CCHF cases have been reported.Prevention measures against CCHF outbreaks in Turkey should focus on the education of individuals at increased risk of infection and the supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) to the at-risk population.Awareness campaigns regarding personal protective measures should be encouraged among the general public to avoid tick bites.People should be advised to wear light-colored clothing covering both arms and legs and to use insect repellents to minimize exposure to tick bites.Integration between clinicians and public health workers is required to control all aspects of the outbreak and to manage the growing health crisis in the country.
