Turkey has so far reported 4,397 deaths from coronavirus pandemic, with 158,762 cases and 121,507 recoveries.
The rapid increase of the confirmed cases in Turkey did not overburden the public healthcare system and the preliminary case-fatality rate remained lower compared to many European countries. Discussions mainly attributed these to the country's relatively young population and high number of available intensive care units. (ILKHA)
