In the circular sent to the governorships by our Ministry, it was reminded that from the moment the covid 19 epidemic began to be seen in Turkey, the measures decided in the cabinet in the light of the recommendations of the Coronavirus Scientific Committee of the Ministry of Health and the inspections for these measures were announced to the public through circulars.

In the circular, it was stated that with the recent decrease of covid -19 cases below 1000, the epidemic ceased to be a threat to public health, and it was passed to the stage of individual protection from the epidemic.
