Monday, 20th April 2020
Turkey’s confirmed coronavirus cases have climbed to 86,306, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Sunday, the highest total for any country outside Europe or the United States.
An expansion of 3,977 cases in the last 24 hours raised Turkey’s confirmed tally above that of China, where the new coronavirus first appeared.
Koca said 127 more people have died, taking the death toll to 2,017. A total of 11,976 people have recovered from coronavirus so far, and the number of tests carried out over the past 24 hours came to 35,344, the minister said.
Turkey only recorded its first coronavirus patient on March 10 but has seen the number of confirmed cases increase clearly since then. It now has the seventh-highest total in the world. So far it has tested more than 634,000 people.
