However, at a time when the daily number of coronavirus cases is over 5 thousand and vaccination does not exceed 15 percent, experts warn 'early' for normalization. According to experts, normalization steps will be taken not because the coronavirus picture is good, but because the tourist season has arrived.
Turkey will announce the new normal after the cabinet meeting to be held on Monday. In the new normal to be announced by President Erdogan, 70 percent of the bans are expected to be lifted.
In the current situation, while the number of cases in Turkey is over 5 thousand, the level of 15 percent in vaccination has not been exceeded yet. In such a table, experts stated that there was a rush to open cafes and restaurants and start education and training, while tourism was cited as the reason for the early normalization.
NEW ROADMAP WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY
Turkey has started the countdown for the new normalization steps. While it was previously announced that normalization steps would be taken on June 1, a cabinet meeting will be held under the chairmanship of President Erdoğan on the Monday before June 1. The current table will be discussed in the cabinet and the road map for the new term will be determined. Then, the new normalization steps will be announced to the public by President Erdogan.
TAKEN STEPS BECAUSE OF THE TOURISM NOT FOR THE 'GOOD TABLE' FIGURES…
According to Turkey's coronavirus table, the daily number of cases has not yet fallen below 5 thousand, while the desired level of vaccination has not been reached. In the previous statements made by the government, it was expected that the vaccination rate would exceed 70 percent by the end of May, but unfortunately this target could not be met. Although vaccination remains at 15 percent as of the end of May, normalization steps will be taken from Monday. While experts warn 'early' for normalization steps, they point to tourism as the reason for this haste. According to experts, the reason for taking normalization steps early is not because the coronavirus picture is good, but because of the tourism season.
