ISTANBUL – Turkey’s health ministry has announced 99 new deaths from COVID-19, the lowest in nearly two weeks.
The total death toll has risen to 2,805. Health Minister Fahrettin Koca shared daily figures Sunday, showing 2,357 new confirmed cases, bringing the number of confirmed infections to 110,130. “Today is the day with the lowest number of new cases in the past 20 days,” he tweeted.
The number of administered tests was also down to about 30,000 Saturday, which the minister attributed to a decreased need because of lower contact opportunities.
