Ankara has already closed schools, cafes and bars, banned mass prayers and indefinitely postponed matches in its main sports leagues, as well suspending flights to many countries as it looks to limit the spread of the virus. In the latest moves, the Interior Ministry said grocery stores and supermarkets’ opening hours will be limited to between 9 am and 9 pm , with a maximum of one customer for every 10 square meters of shop space.
Separately, the Turkish Competition Board said on Monday night there had been opportunist, excessive food price rises, notably for fruit and vegetable products, and said it would impose severed fines on those found to be responsible.
