Turkey’s health minister has urged the residents of Istanbul not to travel outside the province, reminding that the country’s largest city accounts for 40 percent of all COVID-19 cases in the nation - Daily News reports. 
 
“If you are in Istanbul. Do not leave [the city]. You could be a spreader without symptoms, you could be an undetected contact. Unless it is necessary, delay your trip,” Health Minister Fahrettin Koca wrote on Twitter.
 
“Forty percent of all cases in Turkey are in your city,” Koca said, addressing the residents of Istanbul.
 
The minister also advised the people not to visit their elderly, who have returned to Istanbul, saying that face-to-face contact could be dangerous.
Koca also warned people who plan to travel to the megacity. He called on people to check for possible symptoms seven days prior to the planned visit and cancel their trip if they had any symptoms of the coronavirus.
