No country health system is ready if the outbreak isn't controlled since day 1...
Everything else is just a PR move/Panic control move.

They are most likely getting infected during their airport transits rather then inside the country itself.

Turkey to increase coronavirus testing capacity to 15,000 per day

Turkey aims to test about 15,000 suspected cases of the coronavirus per day, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca has said.
Ankara aims to rapidly increase its own testing within Turkey and has a target of carrying out 10,000 to 15,000 tests per day, Koca said.
He said more than 10,000 tests have so far been carried out in total.
“We think this number will increase in the upcoming days. Our goal is to conduct 15,000 tests per day,” he said, addressing parliament, where he briefed lawmakers about Turkey’s measures against the coronavirus.
Apart from the targeted increase in test capacity, Koca said that the number of the laboratories will also increase from 25 to 36. He added that all metropolises will soon be able to conduct COVID-19 tests.
Koca also conveyed that a quick-diagnosis test will be used in a few days, which will be distributed to all provinces. The kits will arrive on March 20, he said.
He also said that Turkey has sent 500,000 coronavirus test kits to the United States upon their request.
372,000 citizens arrived from overseas
The minister also said that since March 1, some 372,000 citizens arrived in Turkey from abroad. He said that the family practice centers are meticulously controlling the returnees and carried out 132,000 medical examinations in a day.
According to the figures Koca provided, the thermal cameras set up at airports have scanned some over 4.6 million passengers. Some 1,103 passengers, out of 189,000, who entered the country via border gates were also placed under supervision.
Koca also added that the Turkish citizens returning from the Umrah pilgrimage from Saudi Arabia have been “isolated.” The returnees were “isolated” in student dorms after one was tested positive for the COVID-19.
He also requested support from lawmakers to fight against “fake news” and “baseless claims on social media.”
Citizens returning from the Umrah pilgrimage have caused nationwide panic, as news about them attempting to or having successfully escaped quarantine spread.
In the eastern Erzurum province, 28 Umrah fugitives were captured by the police and put under quarantine on March 18. On March 19, five more run-aways were captured in the southeastern Şanlıurfa province and were quarantined immediately. The police referred the citizens to a hospital on the grounds that they were not abiding by the 14-day self-isolation rule and were receiving guests at their houses.
‘Iran, Italy responsible for virus spread’
Koca also said that Iran and Italy, who ranked second and third concerning infection numbers after China, were responsible for the virus’ spread around the world and Europe.
“Iran caused the virus to get spread to all the countries. Italy caused the spread in Europe by allowing those arriving from China to roam in the country,” he said.
Over 25,466 intensive care unit capacity
The minister also underlined that even though the number of beds in Turkey’s hospitals are below OECD levels, the country has an intensive care unit capacity that can hold 25,466 patients.
Koca said that in Turkey, there are 28 hospital beds for 10,000 people, while this average figure is 40 for the OECD countries.
Some 9,977 rooms in hospitals are for one person only, which can be used for isolation or as intensive care units, Koca added.
Medical personnel praised
Koca also said that the medical staff’s leaves were terminated due to the outbreak. He said that the government is distributing protective gear to all hospitals.
“Our medical personnel are bearing the brunt of the risks and contact with patients directly. Their workload and the risks they face have increased. I would like to thank our heroes in this struggle and request a round of applause,” he said.
After Koca’s remarks, the lawmakers in parliament applauded the medical personnel for their sacrifices and hard work.

So 15k tests a day, 8 million daily mask production, kolonya production also up etc. We have to be careful but we will master this crisis.

Not sure about that, by the way the infection can also happen where he was in Azerbaijan as they visit both Turkey and Azerbaijan for 8 days. He and his team were ordered to get coronavirus test after arriving in Indonesia. So the test were not taken due to symptom, but just for precaution measure. He and his team are positive corona after the test show the result. By the way, how many corona patients that are now treated in Turkey ?
Yeah, but that seems to be more like getting infected while on a transfer.
as of now we have 359 cases which are all very recent, the hike in numbers indicate testing the persons and the ones who got in touch with the infected.

Turkey to support shorter, flexible work hours
Measure to limit time people spend outdoors in wake of coronavirus outbreak
Erdoğan Çağatay Zontur |20.03.2020
ANKARA
Turkey will support flexible and shorter work hours for employees in order to limit the time they spend outdoors as part of measures to curb the coronavirus outbreak, the country's labor, social services and family minister said Friday.
"We will provide flexibility in certain conditions to make it more beneficial to all sectors," said Zehra Zumrut Selcuk, speaking at Anadolu Agency's Editor's Desk in the capital Ankara.
She added that the basic state pension will also be increased from 1,000 Turkish liras ($154) to 1,500 Turkish liras ($231) in line with the relief package announced on Wednesday.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday unveiled a relief package worth 100 billion Turkish liras ($15.4 billion) to limit the economic fallout from the coronavirus.
The package includes debt payment delays and tax cuts across various sectors.
"Based on the results of an income questionnaire conducted by the Social Assistance Solidarity Foundations, we will distribute 2 billion liras [$308 million] to assist the lowest-income segment," Selcuk said.
"We increased the periodical shares of 1,003 social solidarity foundations in Turkey, so we will have further increased supports to the elders," she added.
- Retirement homes
Selcuk said fever measurements and health scans of elderly people are carried out on a daily basis in all the retirement homes in Turkey.
She added that the number of healthcare professionals and doctors working at the retirement homes will also be increased.
Turkey has so far confirmed four deaths from coronavirus and confirmed 359 cases.
The global death toll has exceeded 10,000 as scientists try to develop a vaccine for the virus known as COVID-19, according to figures compiled by John Hopkins University.

17 Gaziantep City Hospital - 1.875- 2021
18 İzmir Bayraklı City Hospital - 2.060 - 2021
...and so on
By 2024, a total of 33 city hospitals will be built in 27 provinces.
All of these hospitals have a campus layout. If the outpatient clinic and examination services are stopped and arranged according to the national pandemic plan*, the capacities can be more than double. In terms of total bed capacity and intensive care capacity in the Europe: Turkey will grow the faster than any EU country in range of 2018-2023.
These figures are important because the intensity of the outbreak should not obstruct the entire health system (such as especially heart diseases, oncology, etc).

Terrorist organizations, drugs, sexual abuse and repeated crimes will be excluded from this law draft.
There are currently 14 days of quarantine being implemented for newly arrived prisoners. New prisoners beeing isolated from other people for the first two weeks. Then, if the appropriate report is given as a result of the health screening, they starts theirs imprisonments in prison in the normal procedure.
If the enforcement time reduction arrangement takes place, approximately 100,000 prisoners will be able to benefit from it. In this way, inspections related to CoVid will be carried out more healthily. But as we know, this was actually an issue that insisted for years by MHP which is supporting the ruling party from outside. So , By plead this Covid situation, they resolve one of the most important disagreements between them.

Spot on i wanted to say the same thing in another post
Actually this was issue/condition when bahceli asked many times erdogan now it will saved thanks to coronavirus
I’m perfectly ok with this since MHP is a bastion of true nationalism
If whore canan kaftancioglu can be out of prison despite given prison sentece then certainly proud nationalists shouldn’t be in prison for some mistakes they did in the past either i hope they will also pardon the great hero alparslan çelik
