Turkey conduct health checks on asylum seekers at border

Turkey's National Medical Rescue Team (UMKE) members conduct health checks on asylum seekers waiting in hope to cross to Europe in and around the buffer zone located between the Pazarkule-Kastanies border crossing on March 12, 2020 to stem the spread of coronavirus. The coronavirus, officially known as COVID-19, was first detected last December in Wuhan, China but has since spread to more than 105 countries. The global death toll from the virus is nearly 4,300 with more than 118,000 confirmed cases, according to the World Health Organization, which has officially termed the spread of COVID-19 a global pandemic.
