In the statement“The Covid 19 outbreak continues to spread rapidly as a second wave globally. Unfortunately, the epidemic has begun to spread rapidly in our country and even exceeded its effect in the April-March period, according to statements by scientists. Dear Minister of Health Dr. According to Fahrettin Koca’s statements, Istanbul is the city where the epidemic is most intense in our country. Consequently, approximately half the number of cases and deaths occur in Istanbul. Similar data is also valid for the employees of IMM and its subsidiaries. Despite all the measures we have taken to protect our employees and citizens, since February, when the first official case has not yet entered our country, until today, the Covid-19 tests of approximately 2000 IMM employees and their employees affiliates are positive. Additionally, our 1,322 staff are also under quarantine. “
The statement recorded:
“Procedures related to patient determinations and quarantine processes take time. For example, personnel without symptoms of the disease are only identified through routine testing, putting public service personnel at risk of spreading transmission until detected. In this context, as IMM, the recommendations made by IMM’s Scientific Advisory Board were carefully examined in order to avoid the spread of contamination both in society and among employees and to avoid any interruption of service and the following decisions were made :
1) The opening of ISMEK courses, whose registration period continues and face-to-face education is expected to begin soon, has been postponed to a later date. Online courses will continue in certain areas.
2) Scientific data indicates that sports halls and swimming pools are areas where pollution spreads rapidly. On this occasion, it was decided to close the facilities owned by IMM and operated by our subsidiary Spor AS.
3) The Cultural Centers will remain closed.
4) It was decided to perform performing arts online in the inner room.
5) It was decided to close all museums belonging to IMM that are not included in the open air.
In parallel with the additional steps that our government will take in the fight against the epidemic, the dimensions of the closure will be further expanded. In this context, all other procedures belonging to the municipality that must continue will continue with their routine activities ”.
