News by : (Yahoo) -
Istanbul's mayor called on Saturday for a lockdown of at least two weeks to contain an "out of control" rise in coronavirus cases, and said virus-related deaths in the city alone outstrip reported nationwide figures. Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a leading politician in Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), said the country's largest city must act fast and provide a clear picture of how the pandemic's second wave is emerging. "Especially in the last week... there is at least 50 more deaths in Istanbul alone than the number reported in the whole of Turkey," added Imamoglu, who was elected last year in a shock defeat for President Tayyip Erdogan's ruling AK Party (AKP).
