ANKARA - Turkey ordered citizens to stay at home for 48 hours across 31 cities starting midnight on Friday to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, immediately triggering panic-buying in some cities.
Roads in both cities were also full of traffic, with long queues forming outside off-licences, grocery stores and banks. "It is really bad that they announced it so late. Had it been in the morning, we would have gone to the markets to get food and drinks," Zagaia told AFP.'NO NEED TO PANIC' Turkish officials rushed to reassure citizens that the lockdown did not affect basic necessities and that it would only last 48 hours.
