Turkey suspends Iran and Afghanistan flights

Iran and Afghanistan are both in the midst of coronavirus outbreaks.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said last week that 25 million people may have been infected with the coronavirus in Iran, although health officials later sought to play down the estimate.

In Afghanistan cases are being underreported with the Afghan Red Crescent Society stating: “Potential health, social and economic catastrophes caused by COVID-19.”
