Turkey goes into full lockdown as COVID cases surge
Once seen as a COVID success story early in the pandemic, Turkey prepares to enter its first full lockdown.
This time last year Turkey was praised by the World Health Organisation, but a year on they have the highest infection rate in Europe.
Critics say the restrictions in March were lifted too early and now the country has suffered more than 43,000 cases yesterday.
Citizens are now only allowed to leave their homes for essential shopping trips and medical treatment. Alcohol sales will also be limited.
