Turkey closes land borders with Greece, Bulgaria, amid coronavirus outbreak

Turkey’s land borders with Greece and Bulgaria have been closed for exit and entry as a measure against the coronavirus outbreak, state broadcaster TRT said on Wednesday.

A TRT reporter said the gates were still open for the transportation of goods.

Turkey confirmed its first death from the coronavirus late on Tuesday and reported a doubling of confirmed cases to 98 after it ramped up measures to combat the spread of the virus.
