Turkey’s confirmed coronavirus cases have risen to 86,306, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca has said, the highest total for any country outside Europe or the United States.
An increase of 3,977 cases in the last 24 hours lifted Turkey’s confirmed tally above that of China, where the novel coronavirus first emerged, according to a Reuters report.
Koca said 127 more people have died, taking the death toll to 2,017. A total of 11,976 people have recovered from coronavirus so far, the minister said.
