Several measures were taken in the session to avoid infections. Like the two previous sessions during the epidemic, the parliamentarians participated in the session with masks and gloves maintaining social distance.

Staff in the session room also wore masks, gloves and headscarves.

In this session, a total of six bills were approved.

Of the 36 notifications found in Rule 71, 27 were for the Prime Minister to respond to. He responded to seven of them.

For other ministers, a total of 61 questions arose in the session, of which 182 were answered.

This is the third session since the coronavirus began to spread in the country last March. As in the last budget session, MPs were tested for coronavirus to attend the session.

The seventh and eighth (budget) sessions of Parliament were held in April and June. At that time, the session was also carried out in accordance with hygiene regulations. During the parliamentary session, all officials and employees in charge were tested for coronavirus.

In the seventh session, the question of conducting the Covid-19 test for members of Parliament was not raised. However, after several ministers and parliamentarians were attacked, members of parliament were also asked to test them in the middle of the eighth session. This time they were asked to test for Covid-19 before the start of the session on September 6.

Around 70 members of parliament participated in the session every day by list. All officials and employees who performed their duties during the session had to have a negative certificate in the Covid-19 exam.

The last eighth session of parliament ended on July 9. According to the provisions of the constitution, there is no opportunity for a pause of more than 60 days between the two sessions of parliament. That is why this session must be convened.

Once again, media workers were banned from the Parliament session. Parliament was asked to collect news by watching television.
