Three Turkish nationals with different ailments died in the Netherlands from the coronavirus, Turkey’s ambassador at the Hague told Anadolu Agency on Friday.
Saban Disli said the deceased were a male, 82, and two women aged 70 and 66.
FIVE OTHER CITIZENS ARE IN INTENSIVE CARE
The envoy said he talked with the families of the victims and conveyed his condolences, and five other Turks were in intensive care because of the virus.
Disli said a lot of support were given to the patients and families of the deceased, and noted the Turkish embassy is paying close attention to patients.
He said the bodies were unable to be transported to Turkey due to decisions by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) but the victims will be buried in a section reserved for Muslims in cemeteries in the Netherlands.
