France and UK impose restrictions on those coming from Turkey as high-risk country

France has made it mandatory to implement quarantine on those arriving from Turkey due to the corona virus outbreak. Britain has also imposed restrictions on international travel as part of the corona virus outbreak, announcing that Turkey and the Maldives have been placed on the red list of “high-risk” countries.

France has imposed a 10-day quarantine on passengers from Argentina, Chile, South Africa, India and Brazil since April 24.

France will impose a 10-day quarantine on passengers from Turkey, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in a decision to be published this morning, the French Prime Minister’s office said. Passengers arriving from these countries at the weekend could be temporarily offered convenience and assistance.

Passengers will be required to declare their quarantine addresses in France to the aviation company which they will fly during the implementation of the decision. Citizens who will be quarantined will be allowed to go out every day from 10 to 12 hours, and at other times they will pay a fine of between one thousand and 500 euros if they do not comply with the prohibitions. Thus, Turkey, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, United Arab Emirates (UAE) were added to the list of 5 countries.
