The Russian Embassy in Turkey explains the rules of entry into the country
Russia and Turkey From August 1, regular and charter flights are opened.
The Russian Embassy in Turkey informs the rules of entry into the country in a coronavirus pandemic: if the plane will be sick, his neighbors will have to go to quarantine.
“... Passengers must complete the information form, which includes personal details, seat number, address of stay in Turkey, contact details, data on symptoms. If a person suspected of coronavirus is detected on the aircraft, the necessary procedures will be carried out immediately.”
At the airport, before passport control, each passenger will be measured temperature, and if an elevated temperature is detected, symptoms will be examined. If a passenger with suspected coronavirus is found, they will be placed in quarantine/isolation and sent to a hospital for examination.
Upon confirmation of an infectious disease, information about his neighbors on the plane, their personal data and address will be given to the health department. We are talking about passengers who occupied two seats in front, behind and on the sides of the patient's chair, and if he sat at the aisle - diagonally in front and behind.
In the absence of cases of illness on the plane, passengers will be able to leave the airport. Tests for coronavirus at airports in Turkey will not necessarily be carried out, a certificate of testing is not required.
At the airports of Antalya, Dalaman, Izmir, Istanbul opened diagnostic centers, where you can do a test for coronavirus for 15 euros.
" The Turkish authorities regularly urge citizens to observe social distance and personal hygiene rules, try to minimize contacts. Wearing medical masks remains mandatory, both in public places and on the street in most cities, including Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Mughlu. For non-compliance with the rules of wearing a mask, there is a fine of 900 Turkish liras (about 9300 rubles).
The diplomatic mission added: “...would recommend Russian citizens to necessarily purchase health insurance <...> a line of special insurances has been developed, which include medical care in case of infection with Covid-19.” They can be purchased from tour operators, when buying an air ticket, at airports before passing passport control, as well as online.”
