"In connection with the increase in the number of cases of coronavirus in the country, at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, it was decided to close cafes and restaurants, except for take-out work, cinemas until the end of the year," RIA Novosti quoted Erdogan as saying.

He also noted that a partial curfew would be introduced on weekends with a ban on going out from 20:00 to 10:00.

It is specified that education in schools will be held remotely until the end of the year, and sports events will be held without spectators.
