Kaç kişi? 195 ülkede her gün bu soruluyor. Kayıplar versek de Türkiye için geç değil. Tedbir, artışın önünü kesebilir. SON 24 SAATTE toplam 3.952 test yapıldı. 343 yeni tanı var. 7 hastamızı kaybettik. Biri KOAH hastasıydı. Altısı ileri yaştaydı. Aldığımız tedbir kadar güçlüyüz.
“How many people [contracted the virus]? In 195 countries, this question is asked every day. Although we have losses, it is not late for Turkey,” he said, stressing that one of the patients was suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the other fatalities were elderly.
Turkey decided to halt public events, temporarily shut down schools and suspend sporting events in an attempt to prevent further spreading of the coronavirus.
