Turkey's Health Minister Accepts Wear-A-Mask Challenge

Turkey's health minister accepted Friday a wear-a-mask challenge on Twitter posed by the head of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tagged top doctor Fahrettin Koca and invited him with a #WearAMask hashtag.

"Thank you Mr Director-General @DrTedros for your message. I urge all countries to wear a mask, practice social distancing and follow hygiene rules," Koca responded from his Twitter account.

Koca tagged the WHO's Regional Director for Europe Hans Henri Kluge and said: "My dear friend @hans_kluge, I know you are with us #WearAMask"

The WHO launched the challenge earlier this week.
