Medics check a Covid-19 patient’s lung X-ray results at the emergency room of a hospital in Istanbul in April.
The government, which lifted a partial lockdown in June to restart the economy, sounded its own warning on Tuesday when the health minister described the 1,083 new Covid-19 cases as a “severe” rise after a four-day holiday weekend. In Ankara, Ali Karakoc, general secretary of its Medics’ Chamber, said roughly 1,000 people test positive in the capital each day and he blamed what he called a premature easing of lockdown measures in June.
According to a document seen by Reuters, Ankara’s provincial health authority requested all hospitals set aside 50% of clinic beds and all empty ICU beds for Covid-19 and asked for delays in all elective surgeries and admissions for internal medicine. Health Minister Fahrettin Koca has said the bump in cases is due mainly to individuals ignoring rules.
