Turkey adopts 'voluntary' stay-at-home quarantine

President Tayyip Erdogan called on Friday for a "voluntary quarantine" in which Turks stay at home except for shopping or basic needs to stem a surge of coronavirus cases, which jumped by a third in a day to 5,698 with 92 dead. What does this voluntary quarantine mean? The rate of infections in Turkey has outstripped most other countries in the last two weeks with 2,069 more cases in the last 24 hours, the country's health minister said earlier on Friday in calling for wider measures to contain the outbreak.
