IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Concerning the inspections carried out by the Ministry of Interior

Dear Members,

According to information we have received from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, it has been learned that the Ministry of Interior will carry out inspections at the restaurants and bars of hotels as of 24:00, and that administrative sanctions will be applied to venues that are not closed after this hour.

As will be recalled, in the regulations made, restrictions on such venues had been lifted for hotels' own guests. However, in video-recorded complaints reaching the Ministry, it is stated that some hotels, disregarding this situation, continue to provide service to guests coming from outside the hotel as if they were staying at the hotel.

On this occasion, taking into account the chart of the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases announced by the Ministry of Health, we recommend that your restaurants and bars be closed at 24:00 until a second announcement is made, so as not to face any penal sanctions.

Respectfully,

TÜROB Board of Directors
