Dear Member,
Through the referenced letters of the Ministry of the Interior, it is announced that the periodic inspections of businesses regarding the implementation of the general principles of combating the epidemic—cleanliness, masks and physical distancing rules—will continue, in order to manage the risk posed by the Covid-19 epidemic to public health and public order.
Through the Ministry of the Interior's referenced letter (a), it is stated that, in addition to images appearing in social, print or visual media indicating that the established principles and the rules in the guides published by the Ministry of Health (primarily the physical distancing rule) have been violated (dancing/games, entertainment, etc. causing close contact) particularly at eateries, restaurants, cafes and similar venues in tourist areas, information on the matter has reached the Ministry of the Interior, and that, considering the negative effect of environments where people gather in groups on the spread rate of the epidemic, the general measures of cleanliness, masks and physical distancing will be continuously monitored.
Through the Ministry of the Interior's referenced letter (b), it is announced that, within this scope, throughout our entire country (businesses related to our sector), inspections will be carried out on Wednesday, July 8, 2020, taking into account the matters set out in the attached forms, in areas such as:
a) Eateries, restaurants, cafes, coffeehouses, reading rooms, cafeterias, country gardens, tea gardens, coastal strips, parks/picnic areas and similar venues,
b) Swimming pools,
c) Turkish baths, saunas, thermal springs, SPAs and sports centers.
We submit this matter for your information given its importance.
Respectfully,
TÜROB - Turkish Hoteliers Association

Chairman of the Board of Directors
