COVID-19 infections to drop in 2-3 weeks: Turkish minister

Turkey will see a significant fall in the number of COVID-19 cases in the next two or three weeks, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said.

“The number of daily infections has dropped to around 10,000,” Koca said.

According to the head of the Ministry of Health, the number of hospitalizations is also decreasing.

“We expect a decline over the next three to four weeks,” Koca said, noting that the number of infections peaked about three weeks ago.

Asked if there would be a rise in infections again, the minister said another increase may happen in November or December.

“However, it will be like seasonal flu,” he added.

Emphasizing that caution should be exercised regarding COVID-19, Koca reiterated his call to people, especially those over 65, to take booster doses.
