Turkey has so far reported 144,749 confirmed coronavirus cases. Of those, 104,030 patients have fully recovered from the infection and been discharged from hospital.
While 963 patients are being treated in intensive care unit, there are some 508 patients who are mechanically ventilated.
A total of 1,508, 824 tests for coronavirus have so far been conducted in the country.
The rapid increase of the confirmed cases in Turkey has not overburdened the public healthcare system, and the preliminary case-fatality rate remained lower compared to many European countries. Discussions mainly attributed these to the country's relatively young population and high number of available intensive care units.
