Turkey has confirmed that passengers without Turkish Residency Permits will not be allowed to enter Turkey within 14days of visiting
China-South Korea-Iran-Iraq and ITALY.
What Next...….
Post by: jackstee on March 06, 2020, 08:55:20 AM
The way I read it, was,
People with residency would be allowed to enter , get tested and put in quarantine if required.
People without residency would not be allowed in.

Some of the contents of this “NHS Advice” letter were quoted to me a few days ago by someone who swore blind it was a copy of a letter given to his “next door neighbour’s auntie’s friend” after a recent visit to Casualty.
Unbelievable !
We don’t actually need a lock-down and tens of thousands of ventilators and hospital beds – we can all solve the problem by drinking cocoa ! We don’t need tens of thousands of testing kits – just hold your breath. The NHS are giving out letters, but not publishing the same advice on their web site.
Clearly someone needs to let the Chief Medical Officer know these amazing findings ‘cos he is forgetting to tell people in his daily Downing Street briefings – how remiss of him !
In these terrible and scary times it is reassuring to see that the Government has a department which is working with the Social Media Platforms to spot and take down false and dangerous advice. It is a shame they didn’t have the same department working during election and referendum campaigns.
My rant could go on much longer………… but I think I've got it out of my system.
Stay Safe everyone
PS : The bit about " disinfecting door handles phones appliances and hand washing is all good practice " resides in the "sound advice" section.

Entrances and going out from 30 big cities are forbidden.
People under 20 are also banned to go out of homes.
Wearing masks is now mandotary in public places like markets and supermarkets.

As per new measures against the coronavirus pandemic, announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday, Turkey has imposed a new curfew on all residents under 20 years of age, in addition to the curfew on people older than 65.
For the next 15 days, all entry and exit to 31 provinces will be banned, except for delivery of necessities like food, medicine and cleaning supplies and logistics vehicles of sectors approved by the Interior Ministry.
Masks will be mandatory for everybody in all public spaces, and a three-step distance between people will be maintained at all times.
Erdoğan also announced that more than 304,000 people donated over one billion liras to the “national solidarity campaign” since its launch on Monday, "despite efforts to discredit it by (opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu)."
A public hospital in central Istanbul will be renamed the Prof Dr Cemil Taşçıoğlu City Hospital, after the internal medicine professor who lost his life after contracting the virus.

There was an interesting report on EuroNews lastnight, claiming Turkey had now got the fastest rising rate of Covid-19 cases in the world, that is frightening.Thank you legless.
To all my Turkish & English freinds stay safe
But this may be related with the amount of tests are being done. 28.578 tests are done in a day yesterday. Test amounts are very importatnt as the more test you make, the more cases you catch and isolate them.

From the easyjet website: Flights listed as Sold Out
We list a flight as ‘Sold Out’ when it is full, or when no more seats are on sale because we are uncertain if it will operate. An increased number of flights are currently showing as Sold Out because, in light of Covid-19 and evolving travel restrictions, we do not have certainty that some flights will operate. If you have an existing booking on a flight which now shows as ‘Sold Out’, we will be in touch at least 21 days before your departure date to confirm your travel details.

Should I buy my masks at the UK Duty Free on the way out, or are they cheaper in Çalış ?
They're widely available here from chemists, Migros & some markets at 1TL a pop, but you will need one in Dalaman airport & the transfer vehicle.

You'll probably have to wear one for the duration of the flight.

Bringing a box of paper masks with and also a few washable masks which tend to be more comfortable...the paper masks feel like connected with cheese wire over the ears!

My friend would like to get back to East Midlands.

Perhaps Mrs HornedFrog or one of the Froglets could cobble together something like this ? Several ladies in our area are knitting or crocheting them for staff and patients at the local hospitals.
Appreciate the sentiment, KKOB but as I see it, those are for taking up slack, not loosening...I've got a "beeg heed", don't you know! I did a couple months of volunteering at a key working logistics job until very recently and originally had to wear the paper masks...they seriously hurt your ears after a short while, much less if worn during a 10-hour shift! The company was a bit lax, so many of us resorted to bandanas, snoods or even shemaghs (double-layer, of course!).
Thanks for the suggestion, though...keep them coming! ;D

our travel insurance, medical included does not cover for covid 19 this Turkish gov one which I think is a legal requirement for all will be available from airlines , travel agents , and in a Turkish gov site is in fact cheaper that the new visa increase now scrapped.
we will purchase it and give us a little more peace of mind regarding health cover in turkey
Post by: Phil on June 24, 2020, 09:11:20 AM
I am unclear as to whether any new or existing UK purchased Travel policies provide any cover for anything else whilst the UK government travel advice remains "only essential travel".............

20/6/2020.
Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy invited the ambassadors of the 60 [as yet un named] countries sending the most tourists to Turkey, to Antalya & shared with them the measures taken by Turkey for safe tourism.
The Minister said Turkey would start offering a health insurance package covering Covid-19 as of July 1. He added it would be possible for tourists to buy specific insurance policies at airports while buying tickets from contracted airline companies before passport control or else online and via tour operators.
According to the info provided by the Minister fees for the insurance policies will be as follows:
– the policy covering health expenditure up to 3 thousand euros will cost 15 EUR .
– the policy covering health expenditure up to 5 thousand euros will cost 19 EUR .
– the policy covering health expenditure up to 7 thousand euros will be bought at 23 EUR .
.
The Minister also stated that Covid-19 test centres at tourist airports, Istanbul and Antalya to be in the first places, would be operational within 2-3 days and added that there would be isolated apartments or blocks for positive cases in every hotel.
He said, “Our guests will be able to stay in these rooms. If the treatment phase takes longer than the booking period, which is certainly a possibility, in this case our hotels will offer extra days free of charge. That goes for transit passengers as well”.

Or repatriation costs should it be required.
My father in law died on a cruise five years ago. 90 minutes in the sick bay = best part of £4K. Taken off at Cyprus for autopsy then repatriated to Manchester and then to York. Not much change out of £20k and it’s even more expensive if you are alive!
