Doctors have been warning the virus has hit health workers as it gained traction through the summer ahead of planned in-person school reopenings next month. For three weeks last month, new cases had hovered just under 1,000. They were last this high on June 30. The Turkish Medics Association said in a report on Friday that, based on its analysis of government antibody tests, there are likely some 10 times more active coronavirus patients than suggested by the official tally based on virus tests.
