Turkey's total confirmed cases stood at 178,239, according to the infographic Koca shared at Twitter.
Some 1,330 patients recovered in the last 24 hours, the minister said.
The total number of recovered cases stood at 151,417.
“The number of recoveries fell below the number of new cases. We are moving away from the target,” Koca warned.
“Our weak point is unwary optimism. Let’s be prudent optimist,” he urged the public.
Koca also said 45,176 tests were conducted over the past day, with the overall number of tests reaching 2,632,171.
Turkey is currently treating 717 patients in intensive care units, along with 290 intubated patients, Koca added.
