Turkey has reported 12 new coronavirus cases on Monday, bringing its total to 18, according to health minister Fahrettin Koca.
This number of cases has marked the highest daily rise since Turkey confirmed its first case last week.
The Turkish minister added that two of the new cases were related to the first case reported in the country, seven had traveled from Europe and three from the United States.
It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease Covid-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.
China– the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak-is trying with all its might to confront the effects resulting from the outbreak of the new coronavirus via a series of strong and effective measures that seek to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by this deadly virus.
Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough. They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
