Turkey’s Parliament passed a law on Tuesday that would allow for the release of up to 90,000 prisoners to ease overcrowding and protect detainees from being infected by the coronavirus.
The new law is set to reduce sentences and give early release to 45,000 people in minimum-security prisons, and 45,000 from regular prisons, which amounts to nearly one third of the total prison population. Those released will be ordered to stay at home, as Turkey has been gradually restricting the movement of the population.

African countries previously hit by deadly Ebola outbreaks are using the lessons they learned to fight the coronavirus pandemic, experts say, because they know how to rapidly track down, screen and quarantine potential patients.
"When a certain outbreak is over, you have a capacity left behind that you can build on or adapt. It could be for COVID-19 or something else tomorrow," said Dr. Mary Stephen, a technical officer for the World Health Organization at its regional office in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.

Germany is showing some positive trends in its bid to stop Covid-19 from continuing to spread, the head of the Robert Koch Institute -- the country's national agency for disease control and prevention -- said at a news conference Tuesday.
"We have some positive trends, citizens have helped here. I thank everyone. It is great that our efforts are showing results," said Lothar Wieler.
But he warned that there was no clear sign that the numbers of infections were decreasing. Wieler also said there were strong regional differences in Germany and advised citizens to remain disciplined.
Germany's cases top 125,000: Another 2,082 coronavirus infections were reported by the Robert Koch Institute on Tuesday, bringing the national total to 125,098. The total includes 2,969 deaths.

One third of National Health Service staff and other key workers who’ve been tested for coronavirus have returned positive results, according to data released by the British government.
According to the figures released Monday, 16,888 people who fall into the category of “key workers and their households” have been tested. So far, 5,733 – or 34% -- are confirmed to have the virus.
The government has been under pressure to ramp up testing for NHS workers and their families, amid concerns about a lack of appropriate personal protective equipment.
Health minister Matt Hancock has previously said that NHS staff who show symptoms -- or live with someone who does -- will be able to get tested under the government’s plan, with the ultimate goal to provide testing to all NHS staff regardless of symptoms.
