Turkey is currently under a four-day nationwide lockdown for the Eid al-Fitr holiday to curb the spread of the virus.
The curfew came into effect across the country’s 81 provinces at midnight on May 22, a day before Eid, which marks the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. It will end at midnight on May 26.
