File photo of women wearing protective face masks and gloves are seen as the spread of the coronavirus disease continues, Istanbul, Turkey, March 26, 2020. — Reuters pic ANKARA, April 1 — Turkey will have to take additional measures if the coronavirus outbreak grows and people don’t abide by a “voluntary quarantine,” President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.
“We won’t need further measures if all our citizens keep themselves in a voluntary quarantine.

Erdogan has stopped short of announcing a full lockdown across Turkey, mainly for economic reasons, despite growing pressure to do so after cases of coronavirus surged to more than 13,000 in just three weeks, with 214 deaths.
