Turkey’s nationwide weekend coronavirus curfew ends

Turkey ended a nationwide weekend curfew early Monday aimed at helping to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

CURFEWS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL A NEW DECISION IS TAKEN

The curfew began on Friday at 9 p.m. and ended on Monday at 5 a.m.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last week announced new coronavirus restrictions, including a curfew on weeknights and full weekend curfews.

Some sectors, including production, supply, health and agriculture, are exempt, said Erdogan. Supermarkets, grocery stores, butchers and dried fruit shops operate between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekends. Bakeries are also open during weekend curfews
