President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed concerns about people not complying with measures against the coronavirus pandemic and called on the public to show more sensitivity.

Axar.az reports that this was reported by Turkish media.

Speaking to reporters after performing Friday prayers in Istanbul, Erdogan said the Health Ministry’s Coronavirus Scientific Advisory Board carried out every effort and preparation for measures against the outbreak. "But the sensitivity of people is very important," he noted. "Although we announced a series of measures, we still see our citizens are not careful especially in indoor venues. We see people not complying with measures, even a smoking ban. They are not wearing masks."
