Turkey imposes 48-hour coronavirus lockdown

With the global coronavirus death toll exceeding 100,000, the World Health Organization warns that lifting lockdown measures too early could lead to even deadlier outcomes. Turkey announced a 48-hour curfew for its major cities, becoming the latest country to enact such measures. Holly Williams reports on how Turkish residents prepared themselves for the lockdown that would leave only pharmacies, bakeries and essential services such as hospitals open.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs. The broadcast has earned a prestigious Peabody Award, a Polk Award, four News & Documentary Emmys, three Daytime Emmys and the 2017 Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Newscast. The broadcast was also honored with an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award as part of CBS News division-wide coverage of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Turkey: “48 hours should do it.”

Everyone: “WTF?”

[AwakeInNJ]

Get your audio together CBS, it's pathetic that a multibillion dollar entity cant upload a video above a whisper..

[KozmicKarmaKoala]

Ah ! Istanbul !! Such a magnificent city.

Who ever came up with this strategy is a genius. 2 days should solve all the corona virus pandemic. Why no one thought about it before.

Turkey Government sent SOS to South Korea to ship test kits and PPP and Turkey Government sent a military cargo airplane to pick them up from South Korea. It will start to perform testing massively.

Once everyone is locked down Turkey will be like haha gotcha it's really two weeks suckers.

[UziNineMillomeetah]

I can't even get over a man cold in two days...

[peterjohnson]

Apparently 130 countries sent SOS to get a help for medical equipment from South Korea now. South Korea is helping all over the world now.

Back to school ? Mid month ? I'd be like.. Not my child, my child is done with school this year. Why would you risk them getting sick and bringing it home. Smh

[SavageInstitute]

No country that didn't lock down has suffered more losses than those that did proportionally.

[stairs]

Like I said, how come there are no more reports of other causes of deaths, only covid-19?

[owain_glyndwr]

Everything is closed

It’s not 48 hours lockdown it’s 48 nobody leaves not even markers work

[beverlyboo]

They'd better leave the schools out of it. Wait a long period of time before bringing the children back out.

[Nova_nor]

hi i want to say something, curfew was weekend. usually people waiting to buy food for the weekend in Turkey. so when the meals are over there is a busy crowd to get a snack for two days. The only reason for this confusion was the sudden decision of the government. :))

[hyacinthdibley]

Why are that many people shopping for only a 2-day shutdown?

[TarabUTK]

How in the world did they come up with the 48 hrs number?

[captzoom]

What's up CBS This is the second week in a row your videos have no volume on them tighten up man figure it out you're not worth watching if you can't hear them

[MegaPapa]

Wuhan took 77 days from total lockdown to open to travel. Turkey must feel lucky.

[diorocks]

I read the title and immediately thought "What kind of turkey has this much authority?".
