The southwestern region, which has shown its effect in many cities in our country, especially in Istanbul, will continue tomorrow. After the statements from the meteorology, face-to-face education was suspended in schools in Istanbul, Sakarya, Kocaeli and Yalova, and experts made statements such as ‘do not leave the house unless necessary’.
The latest development in this regard was about motocouriers, which were the focus of discussions throughout the day. The Istanbul Governor’s Office announced that the use of motorbikes and scooters was banned throughout the province due to the storm that created a danger in the city. The ban, which will start at 23:00 tonight, will continue until 18:00 tomorrow. Before the ban, many users on social media criticized the continuation of deliveries despite the dangerous conditions for motocouriers.
Getir and Yemeksepeti also announced that they stopped deliveries:
Before the governor’s statement, the first development on the subject was the statement made by Getir. Getir announced that they have suspended motorcycle deliveries in all regions affected by the storm. After the governor’s decision, Yemeksepeti made a similar statement and stated that it stopped deliveries.
However, until the explanations came, the sights and annoying images encountered during the day were enough to create a great reaction against the event on social media. Many Twitter users said that they were late in making decisions by criticizing companies such as Getir and Yemeksepeti.
