The mandate applies to 31 provinces and covers all major cities. The curfew occurred less than an hour before it went into effect, sparking a hectic shopping race.

Two weeks ago he was ordained all under the age of 20 and over 65 in quarantine, and crowds of people were banned. But the decree has often been blatantly ignored, with big weddings and other parties.

Official Turkey has gone through several stages during the epidemic. It was a long time, until March 11, before the authorities recognized that the farce reached the country.

A doctor in Izmir, who did not appear by name, told Deutsche Welle in mid-March that covid-19 victims consistently received causes of death such as “pneumonia” and “infectious disease.”
Michael Tanchum of the Truman Institute in Jerusalem said on March 20 that the trend curve for Turkish infection was steeper than that for Italy, a calculation that seems to hold. According to the Ankara Health Ministry, on Saturday, 47,000 people were infected and more than a thousand died in the disease. Turkish financial analyst Inan Dogan, who made a highly accurate prediction of mortality in the United States in March, estimates that half a million Turks are infected.
However, the actual numbers are shrouded in darkness. The Turkish Medical Association TTB, which showed great courage during the crisis, accused authorities on Friday of sweeping large categories of death victims and ignoring international guidelines on how to classify death victims:

Turkey was hit by the infection after a stormy economic year, when the government repeatedly to the east of its foreign exchange reserve to back up the faltering local currency.

However, small businesses and sole proprietorships, which employ millions of Turks, have yet to be promised any concrete assistance. Turkey also cannot afford to offer them much. Erdogan does not want to ask the International Monetary Fund for help, as he accused all previous governments of joining the IMF liaison. High-level contacts are made between Ankara and Washington regarding the possibilities of an emergency loan from the United States.
