Turkey’s Covid-19 death toll topped 10,000 Wednesday as the government barred public health workers from quitting or retiring amid a surge in coronavirus cases.
The ban applies to doctors, nurses and other health workers in the public sector and is meant to ensure an uninterrupted fight against Covid-19, the Hurriyet newspaper reported Wednesday, citing an order from the Health Ministry.
