In Turkey,... Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday,... that the country will impose partial weekend curfews to stem the spread.

A partial curfew, which was already in effect for people over the age of 65, has now been expanded to include those under 20,... with the exception of those who have to go to work.
Cinemas will be closed until the end of the year,... while malls, markets, restaurants and hairdressers can only operate from 10AM to 8PM throughout the week,.... with restaurants only offering takeout.
