After a four-day nationwide lockdown on May 23-26 during Eid Al Fitr, life has been returning to normal in Turkey.
In the early hours of the morning, the shopkeepers opened their shops, and traffic continued to flow in normal course in Turkey’s southeastern Diyarbakır Province.
After the curfew ended, people rushed to streets in the city in order to enjoy this year’s spring weather.
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)
