Johns joins me from stamboul dorian why a last minute curfew just for the way cant. Well the from the turkish scientific poll which the government is relying on for its battle against the virus they said at the threat had become so great now i think a lot of concern is that the people in istanbul like the rest of the country received only 2 hours notice of this 48 hour curfew and that resulted in absolute panic in some parts of the cities people rushed to the shops desperately to get supplies we saw images of people fighting in some cases and casting aside all of these calls for social distancing so there is a great deal of concern about how this was handled the blame game that started interior minister sort of the curfew order was issued and said this is it came from the presidency itself so its very much a case of that even though there is race acceptance of these the need for this curfew many have been calling for it the way its been handled has calls a great deal of concern and fears of the repercussions going forward. Turkey is saying a stink up turn in the number of new cases of coronavirus at this critical moment is the health care system.

Well thats another big question the fact that people only receive 2 hours notice of this latest move its are unclear whether this curfew could be possibly extended they are as awareness of this problem is continuing to escalate despite measures being taken but the turkish president regev typer one has been very insistent on rejecting calls for major curfew saying the economys wheels have to keep on turning and i think the key problem for the government is if they do in forces major curfew for any length of time during working days the course will be for compensation to be paid for these people who are not working the question is does the government have those funds to support such a major financial drain on its resources and i think that is a major factor that possibly holding back further curfew extensions but it remains unclear at the moment daryn johns in istanbul thank you.
