The male patient is in good health condition and his family and people who had close contact with him are under observation. “This is the first case confirmed in our country. The diagnosis of coronavirus was made early and if the virus has spread it is limited. Our country is prepared for this, all measures to prevent spread are taken,” Koca said at a news conference.
