Turkey has reported its first case of coronavirus as the illness continues to spread across the Middle East and North Africa.
Health Minister Fahrettin Koca told reporters late on Tuesday that the virus had been detected in a male citizen who had contracted the disease – officially known as COVID-19 – while in Europe.
The patient has since been isolated and his family members have quarantined, Koca said.
The minister warned citizens against unnecessary travel abroad and urged them to follow all methods of protection against the coronavirus announced by the ministry.
