Turkey imposes COVID-19 movement curbs before Ramadan begins
To stop the spread of coronavirus, Turkey orders partial lockdown on some provinces and says new infections tapering off.
Turkey has imposed a four-day lockdown in 31 provinces to try and stop the spread of the coronavirus as the country prepares for the Ramadan fast.
