The goal of the screens is to startle passengers into wearing masks in public places, which is legally mandated by the Turkish Interior Ministry. 

"We aimed to raise sensitivity toward precautions in these days when the pandemic has flared back up," Trabzon Mayor Murat Zorluoğlu said. 

Trabzon municipality has been carrying out a variety of efforts to enforce safe distancing, hygiene and masks, the mayor added. 

Ankara also implemented partial curfews nationwide on Nov. 30, when some 188 patients died in Turkey.
