Turkey on Wednesday eased curfew restrictions for people over the age of 65, those with chronic illnesses and young people under 20 years old.
“65+ ALLOWED TO LEAVE HOUSE REMAINING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE”
In a statement, the country’s Interior Ministry said that people over 65 years old would be allowed to leave their homes, remaining within walking distance and wearing masks, on May 10 between 11.00 a.m. 3:00 p.m. local time (0800-1200GMT).
Children under 14 years old will be allowed out on May 13 during the same hours, while 15-20 year-olds would be able to leave their houses on May 15, also within walking distance and wearing masks, the statement added.
In a separate statement, the ministry said that flower shops would be operating home-deliveries despite curfew over the weekend to mark Mother’s Day on Sunday.
