As the latest wave of the epidemic passes, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Monday that Turkey will soon lift the lockdowns and ease most other restrictions from 1st July.
After undergoing its first full national lockdown in late April, the 84 million countries have been gradually reopening.
The number of new coronavirus infections per day has dropped from around 60,000 per day before the shutdown to around 5,000 per day this month.
Erdogan said the drop meant that Sunday lockdowns and evening curfews will be lifted from July 1.
However, he added that concert halls and other music venues must close by midnight because “no one has the right to disturb others.”
Turkey has increased its immunization efforts following a deal last month for 60 million additional doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
For the past week, it has been administering more than a million doses per day, and it has now given at least one shot to more than 28 million people.
