The explosion in case numbers after the implementation of gradual normalization has forced the government to make new decisions. It was learned that the preparations were aimed at the tourist season and that it was planned to enter the season as a country with the number of cases under control.
The new decisions which will be announced after a cabinet meeting tomorrow, are expected to maintain restrictions not only on Ramadan but also on Eid. The goal is to reduce the number of cases to the 10 thousand band. On the other hand, the meeting will focus on the formula for “resting” all of Turkey, as President Erdogan noted in his speech.
Today’s meeting of the Scientific Council and tomorrow’s meeting of the Council of Ministers will shape new decisions that will be implemented during Ramadan. The application is expected to be based on strict rules and strict supervision, as it was 6 months ago. Experts note that social mobility will already decrease due to Ramadan, using this opportunity, it would be right to suppress cases. After Ramadan, bans are expected to continue on Eid.
CODE RED ALARM
According to Hurriyet, preparations are aimed at the tourist season and it is planned to enter the season as a country with the number of cases under control. According to the information provided, countries that send more tourists to Turkey, such as the UK, Germany and Russia, will identify “red-coded” countries. Preparations have begun on this issue. It is aimed to prevent Turkey from being among the risky countries with today’s figures.
TOURISM REPORT CARD
A strict control policy of 1-2 months will be implemented to correct Turkey’s report card. Even if these countries do not impose a direct ban, they impose a quarantine requirement of 14 days on return for their citizens who go to countries that they declare risky which is a deterrent for tourists. If Turkey does not reduce the number of cases, the concern that there will be a serious shortage in the number of tourists will lead to stricter decisions.
