COVID-19: What is Turkey’s true case count?
Turkey revised its reporting criteria on November 25 to include asymptomatic cases, increasing its daily reported cases by a factor of 3.6 overnight. With cases now averaging 32,000/day and rising, the country is three days from crossing the million-case threshold, officially.
But we know that this is a spectacular undercount.
Turkey currently reports 925,342 COVID-19 cases (16th overall by country) where the actual reported value based on curent reporting criteria should be 2.1 million cases (6th overall), and the underlying incidence of all infections is likely 3.5–5 million.
