Turkish president Erdogan has called on the population to maintain a distance of 'three paces' from each other when outside.

Turkey stepped up controls Saturday on crowded public spaces including markets and ferries in Istanbul, a day after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan imposed the use of face masks to curb the coronavirus outbreak.

From Saturday, all those going out to shops or markets must wear a face mask, Erdogan said, calling on the population to maintain a distance of"three paces" from each other when outside. "This has a big impact, there is no one at the market, at this time of the day, we have nothing to do here," said Abbas Kose, who sells vine leaves."But still, we have to take and give back change, and the microbes come from the money," Kose said.
