REUTERS/Umit BektasISTANBUL: In the intensive care unit of a hospital in Istanbul, the heart of Turkey's coronavirus outbreak, doctors and nurses have rushed back to duty to fight against the pandemic days after recovering themselves from the disease.
In rare access to the ICU at this private hospital, staff who had just emerged from their own quarantines said they were proud of their tireless work despite fears for their families. "We are terrified of infecting our families. Some of us stay away from our families," she said in the hospital's intensive care ward, where seven patients are on mechanical ventilation."Some of us got it. Me too, I got coronavirus. We had to stay away from our families for 14 days. Then we came back to work after recovering. We are very proud of practising this job," Yavuz said.
The government has halted all international flights, restricted domestic travel, closed schools, bars and cafes, and suspended mass prayers. It has also begun imposing weekend lockdowns in larger cities to curb the outbreak, but has stopped short of a nationwide stay-at-home order.
