[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chun-hee] The daily number of new COVID-19 cases in Turkey has surpassed 7,000, setting a new record once again.


On the 25th (local time), the Turkish Ministry of Health reported that the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country increased by 7,381 from the previous day, reaching 460,916. This is the first time that the daily new cases in Turkey have exceeded 7,000.


The number of new cases in Turkey has been setting new records for four consecutive days since the 22nd. Turkish health authorities do not include asymptomatic infections in the confirmed case count, so the actual number of cases is estimated to be higher.


The cumulative number of COVID-19 deaths in Turkey rose by 161 from the previous day to 12,672.
