Turkey will tighten restrictions on daily life if the country’s coronavirus outbreak worsens because citizens didn’t follow the “voluntary quarantine,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.
Erdogan is under increasing pressure to impose a nationwide lockdown, which he’s so far resisted for economic reasons. Instead, he’s called on people to self-police and stay inside their homes except to shop for groceries or make emergency trips.
