Record number of coronavirus cases in Turkey with over 30,000 infections

THE Turkey recorded 30,021 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, the highest number this year, the Ministry of Health announced on Saturday.

Measures to stem the pandemic in Turkey eased this month.

The total number of cases is 3,179,115.

According to the Ministry of Health, 151 deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours, increasing to 30,923 the total number of deaths from the pandemic in the country.

Recall that the The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) says the government has failed to manage the pandemic and described the current situation in the country as a “social assassination”.. “An increase in cases in a short period of time shows that Turkey, like many other countries in Europe, is facing a tsunami. “As long as this trend continues, we need more serious measures,” he stressed.

We also recall that President Erdogan and his government were criticized this week for organizing the congress of the ruling party in the presence of thousands of people. Many of those gathered did not keep their distance, nor did they wear masks.

After the immunization campaign in Turkey started on January 14, 8.2 million people have received the first dose of the vaccine. By the end of May, the country expects to receive 100 million doses of vaccines from various manufacturers.
