Endemic phase of COVID-19 — Definition
COVID-19'un endemik fazı / Endemic phase of COVID-19
The endemic phase of COVID-19 refers to the period that the virus is constantly and predictable in a certain population or geographical region. At this stage, the virus has not been completely destroyed, but it does not show sudden and large fluctuations, such as secretion or pandemi times.
