Description of the, Using the mosque's as a image picture of the news of Covid_19, is just a simple hypocrisy. Where is your kindness to different cultures or religions? And you should know this in Turkey we are very good according to other Europe countries. The counts are true

Imagine believing these numbers. In dictatorships like China, Iran, Erdoganland you have to multiply the numbers by 10 to get an rough idea.

I hope it will end soon🤲

اللہ تعالی اپنا خاص فضل و کرم فرمائے ،آمین۔

Nope, they do not have adequate testing, once the death toll starts rising we will get the truth...

i hope all pro-erdogan trolls catch this virus and die with pain.

Y todo por culpa de los cochinos chinos!!

Turkey handled very good so far.

Number of death raised in second. Social distance is only solution to save & protect from Corona.. please keep distance

😕😔

Why do you use a mosque picture everytime you report about Turkey? Seriously, why not post a Church photo every single time you post news about Canada and US? What does Corona have anything to do with religious reference.

It needs be to declared a curfew because looks like we are going so bad so far unfortunately

I fear Turkey is lacking testing like most everywhere else. I imagine this number will multiply..

Turkey handled good so far now

Trump's fault?

Wow, that's a huge increase

CoronaVirus update (Live) in real time per country

Only limited testing show us how bad at the moment Turkey ‘s situation! Last 10 days they did only 20K test all aroundTurkey! Because they sold test kits to USA there is no enough testing and more likely Turkey will be worse then Italy ! It’s sad but true! Emrah_Altindis

Y todo por los pinches chinos!
