Good article on how Turkey is successfully tackling Coronavirus with just 6,000 deaths in a country of 83 million people.
Quote:
Much of the country's success in containing the disease has been put down to Turkey’s so-called COVID-19 "detectives".
Turkey has managed to test millions of people for the virus and has registered more recoveries from the disease than infections for the past four weeks on the trot.
One of the country's leading doctors told Sky News that Turkey's relatively low mortality rate is down to the extensive testing and tracing network, as well as aggressive treatment in the early stages of the disease...
Every child, relative, acquaintance, workmate and secret lover of every person who tests positive is found and told to isolate for 14 days.
We don't want them to lie to us," says Dr Melek...
"Often we make them remember people, locations, instances they have just completely forgotten. We are truly like detectives."
