Turkey logged 37,312 new COVID-19 infections and 353 deaths in the previous 24 hours on Monday, health ministry data showed, sharply down from mid-April but still the world’s fourth highest number of cases.

Turks will have to stay indoors except for essential shopping trips and urgent medical treatment. Certain groups including emergency service workers and employees in the food and manufacturing sectors will be exempt.

The new restrictions take effect from 16:00 GMT (7pm local time) on Thursday and will end at 02:00 GMT on May 17.

“At a time when Europe is entering a phase of reopening, we need to rapidly cut our case numbers to below 5,000 not to be left behind. Otherwise, we will inevitably face heavy costs in every area, from tourism to trade and education,” Erdogan said.

Erdogan說道“在歐洲正在進入重新開放的階段，我們必須降低我們的確診人數(shù)到5000以下，才不能被落下。否則的話，我們將不可避免的面對全方面巨大損失，從旅游到貿(mào)易到教育等各個方面?！?/span>

The measures appear to be designed to avoid another spike around the time of traditional family gatherings and celebrations that take place when the holy month of Ramadan ends in mid-May. (Al Jazeera)

這些措施似乎是為了避免在5月中旬神圣齋月結(jié)束時傳統(tǒng)的家庭聚會和慶祝活動時帶來的再次新冠感染高峰。
