Turkey stands in solidarity with the US, its NATO ally, against the novel coronavirus, the country’s communications director said Monday.
“TURKEY STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH US”
“Turkey continues to deliver medical supplies to its friends and allies. We are proud to announce that 500,000 surgical masks and other PPE [personal protective equipment] will arrive at @Andrews_JBA tomorrow. We stand in solidarity with the United States, our NATO ally, against coronavirus,” Fahrettin Altun said on Twitter.
Turkey has delivered aid to at least 57 countries so far to help them fight the coronavirus outbreak, including those badly hit by the virus such as the UK, Italy and Spain.
The US remains the country with the most infections, at nearly 987,467. It also has the highest number of deaths with over 56,000.
