Turkey has entered its first full weekend lockdown since May as deaths from coronavirus more than doubled in less than three weeks to hit record highs, with daily infections now among the highest numbers recorded globally.
The daily death toll tmsnrt.rs/35LkG8h rose to a record high of 196, bringing the total since the beginning of the pandemic to 14,705. Official daily deaths were in the 70s at the end of October. Opposition politicians have expressed scepticism however about whether the official death toll reflects the true picture in the country of 83 million people. They have questioned how the numbers in Istanbul could be almost as high as those reported for the whole nation. Turkey recorded 31,896 new cases, including asymptomatic ones, down from Friday’s 32,736, the highest daily number reported by Ankara since the beginning of the pandemic in March. For four months,Turkey only reported daily symptomatic cases, but it has reported all cases since Nov. 25. Historical data for all positive cases and the cumulative total are still not available. Turkish television showed largely empty squares and streets in the largest city Istanbul, the capital Ankara and the third largest city Izmir, with only a few people and vehicles out and about. Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu was quoted as saying by state-owned Anadolu news agency that most people were obeying the lockdown rules. |
