Hopefully, we will overcome this difficult time of the fight against the coronavirus with the strength of our health infrastructure and set a good precedent for passing this test.

We resolutely continue our struggle through reasonable, balanced and realistic steps without giving rise to panic. The most significant advantage we have is our robust health infrastructure and the fact that we started to fight against the coronavirus at an early stage. Türkiye has the facilities to overcome this disease, and our people have the wisdom to follow the measures diligently.

The government of the Republic of Türkiye stands by every one of its 83 million citizens with all its means available.
