Medical management during the pandemic period

We read with great interest the article titled "Diagnostic Accuracy of Clinical Gestalt of Doctors with Different Experiences in COVID-19 Suspected Patients" prepared by Özkan and published in the third issue of your journal in 2022. Thanks to the author and editorial board for this interesting and informative article. In addition, we would like to briefly touch on the parameters used in the perception of triage and patient management during the pandemic process.
