Weekend lockdowns - Turkey’s coronavirus response

President Erdogan says his handling of the crisis is a success story - although some doctors beg to differ, claiming the death toll is higher than claimed.

Over 80 countries, including the UK, have asked Turkey for medical equipment - but what's the situation like there?

Even in this situation you are doing anti-turkey news. Bravo.

[joseph_wei]

I guess anti-Erdogan reporting should not be a big surprise on western media.

Why don't you do interview your own Country in the Hospital Emergency room and the people who lost their jobs

Ya Allah protect great Turkish nation. Praying form Pakistan🇵🇰

UK and any other other european country (maybe except germany) is in no place to judge Turkey in this situation. In Turkey there is a free healthcare system and they reacted very fast to the virus. Turkey was banning prayers in mosques and any other kind of meetings while Boris in UK was shaking hands with everybody he knows.

[serdarra]

Wow even tho turkey is doing so well even helping out most affected countries and they have better health systems but you cant even say that I wonder what's the reason

[abdifatahelmi]

UK was begging turkey for medical equipment just few days ago

[mlbbviapallen]

Turkey do 40 k coronavirus tests a day thats Why they have so high coronavirus cases

Turkey gave free masks to all citizens. Second cargo plane to US arrived today for donation of PPE.

It's biased news that the facts are distorted. You can not cover your incompetence by denigrating others. Turkey's Health Minister regularly very clear answers to the questions by members of the press releases about this situation. I wish you were trying to report the truth instead of the wrong views of an uncertain person who is wearing a white coat.

Turkey is doing way better than Uk. Yes some people wont be able to afford lockdown, but is this a unique situation for Turkey? And of course official numbers are lower, LIKE IT IS EVERYWHERE ELSE

[naturebey]

This is the British way of saying thanks i guess, you help them and they help you by telling the world that you are layers what a grateful people.

[markandrews]

Why single Turkey out? Haven't we got enough of our own mismanagement problems here in the UK to focus on?

[ShamankaIlona]

You better could try to explain why UK is hiding the real numbers.

[abdullahkoles]

Oh, yeah. That's why Britain wants help from Turkey to do smtng for Covid challenge, isn't it?

[daahah]

Ya Allah, in the holy month of Ramadan have mercy please stop Wu Han Corona virus all over the world 👐🙏 Aamiin👐🙏

[abdullahkoles]

It is not true but if the death number would be twice in Turkey, it doesn't reach half of England. You seem just silly and jealousy by that way.

[Harriston]

That's a camouflage! Would be better to explain the numbers in UK instead of switching the viewers to Turkey.

[kipdynamite]

Is Turkey, maybe...is the UK definitely

[RakibuBrighton]

Despite all challenges of Covid19 and Lockdowns, the holy month of #Ramadan will bring us joy.
Wishing you all a blessed time
