   first coronavirus case, people have been flocking to pharmacies,
   grocery stores, and other outlets to prepare for a potential nationwide
   pandemic. VOA's Umut Colak in Istanbul, in collaboration with Murat
   Karabulut in Ankara, filed this report on the shortage of supplies like
   face masks and sanitizers, and the sudden price hikes on such items.
