Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s spokesman Ibrahim Kalin and the country’s Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu announced on Saturday that they tested positive for the coronavirus.
Kolin tweeted that he had reached "the final stage of coronavirus treatment," but did not mention how long he has been sick.
“I have reached the final stage in the coronavirus treatment, I had mild symptoms. I'm fine right now, thank you,” Erdogan’s Spokesman wrote on Twitter. “I thank everyone who called, asked, sent messages, prayed.”

His comment came only hours after Soylu said he was hospitalized on Friday with his wife and daughter, who also tested positive for the virus after feeling unwell. They are being treated in a hospital, and “Thankfully we are a bit better.”
The two officials meet regularly with Erdogan, who went to Izmir, on Saturday, to inspect the damage caused by the earthquake which killed more than 40 people in Turkey and Greece.
The Turkish president has not shown any signs of illness, who is constantly undergoing a “Covid-19” examination, while he maintains an intensive program that often includes several daily televised speeches.
“75 new deaths from COVID-19 and 2,213 new confirmed cases. The country’s death toll in the pandemic now stands at 10,252,” according to Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca.
