Turkey intends to impose full isolation by May 17 to limit the spread of the coronavirus, which has forced the government to impose tougher measures following the COVID-19 outbreak.
The blockade, which will take effect tonight at 7pm, will cover the rest of the holy Islamic month of Ramadan, as well as the three days of Eid al-Fitr.
All establishments will be closed, with some exceptions, such as manufacturing, food, hygiene and health. Supermarkets will also close on Sundays.
Restaurants and cafes will only offer delivery services, while long-distance travel requires special permission from the authorities.
The government chose complete isolation after the daily number of coronavirus cases reached record highs at about 60,000.
However, after April 23, the daily number of infections fell below 50,000.
Residents of Istanbul are leaving the country’s largest city before the blockade began, which caused heavy traffic.
Residents of Istanbul began to leave to leave the country’s largest city before the blockade, which led to heavy traffic and large-scale traffic jams.
“Now is not the time for vacation. People should not consider isolation as an opportunity to visit their summer homes or resorts. This can only increase the number of infections, “warned Professor Mustafa Nekmi Ilhan.
According to Ilhan, the effects of the partial blockade imposed by the government earlier this month have already begun to manifest themselves, and the effects of the full blockade will be felt within 14 days.
According to him, if people follow the rules, the number of patients will be gradually reduced to 5,000.
