The new coronavirus scheme approved by the Turkish government will allow tourists arriving in the country and staying in hotels to obtain coronavirus insurance.
Covid-19 health insurance will be available for a week and will cost around € 15. If a tourist becomes infected with the coronavirus during their stay, they will not have to pay the remaining days of their stay.
The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry does not recommend going to Turkey.
However, it should be noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not recommend Lithuanians to go to Turkey. There are also no direct flights to Lithuania from Turkey. The Foreign Ministry states that direct flights can start no earlier than August 1.
“As of July 1, a certified coronavirus-free system was launched in the country (covering airports, flights, charter flights, hotels and catering). In accordance with the established requirements, hotels are evaluated by international experts and must comply with more than 130 established criteria The certified institutions are marked with the “Safe Tourism” mark.
Those who come from Lithuania to Turkey do not need to take a PSR test. All arriving passengers, including those in transit, undergo a medical examination for symptoms of coronavirus. Once the symptoms have been identified, the passenger will undergo free PCR. If the test is positive, the passenger will be referred to a medical institution in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Everyone must wear face masks at airports, in-flight, on buses, ferries both on arrival and departure, as well as in public places in Turkey, and follow the rules of social distance and personal hygiene.
Istanbul airport has a special laboratory for rapid PCR tests. This test can be taken upon arrival or departure from Turkey and in transit through Istanbul Airport. The cost of the PCR test is 110 Turkish liras (around € 14). The results are received in 2 hours ”, writes the Ministry of Foreign Relations.
Holidays in Turkey will not be the same as before.
According to The Sun, tourists arriving in the country will have to undergo a coronavirus test at the airport, as well as pass a check-up: they will be measured by temperature, tourist flows will also be controlled through thermal imaging cameras. If the coronavirus test is positive, tourists will be transported to a reserved hospital or hotel where they will be required to be isolated.
According to The Telegraph, the plan stipulates that even if the quarantine period is longer than the reserved holiday, you will not have to pay for additional days of stay.
It is true that holidays in Turkey this year will be completely different from usual. Locals and tourists alike face a 900-lira fine (around 116 euros) if they don’t wear masks in public.
The beaches in Turkey are also announcing their new rules. Smoking bans, sunbathing areas, and restricted access to beaches are just a few things to expect in Turkey this summer.
Here, a few days ago, a hotel beach bar in Bodrum billed tourists 369 liras (approximately 48 euros) for a portion of kebab and 550 liras (approximately 70 euros) for swimming in the sea.
Still, the city’s mayor appears to be defending such high prices for entrepreneurs. According to the mayor, “he doesn’t care at all if people want to pay such high prices for food.”
