Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca, in a post he shared on Twitter yesterday, stated that the Scientific Committee will meet today and that Covid-19 measures such as ‘mask obligation’ will be discussed at the meeting; Upon this, everyone’s mind is “Is Covid-19 measures being lifted? “The question came.
After the meeting that took place today, it was finally expected and Koca announced that all mandatory Covid-19 restrictions were lifted with a press release after the meeting. The decision, which Koca defined as the last stage in the fight against Covid-19, almost divided the social media into two.
Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, social media was divided into two
After the Scientific Committee meeting held today, it was reported that all mandatory Covid-19 measures were lifted; Accordingly, it was stated that measures such as the use of masks and HES code are no longer ‘mandatory’, regardless of open or closed space, that people who do not show symptoms will not be tested, and that if two people in a class have Covid-19, the class will not be quarantined. On the other hand, Koca noted that people are now responsible for their own protection and that people should continue to carry masks with them.
This decision was taken on the agenda of social media in a short time. While those who have been tired of being dependent on masks for two years welcomed this decision, the majority expressed their fear and uneasiness at the thought that the cases will increase further with the removal of the measures. In addition, the fact that the ban on music was not lifted after 12 pm was another issue that drew criticism.
