16 Million Workers Estimated as Exempt From Turkey s National COVID-19 Lockdown

16 Million Workers Estimated as Exempt From Turkey s National COVID-19 Lockdown On 4/30/21 at 11:18 AM EDT Some 16 million workers in Turkey are estimated to be exempt form the country s strict new three-week COVID-19 lockdown order as virus cases and deaths reach record highs. The Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey estimated that millions of workers including health care workers, law enforcement officers, factory and agriculture workers, as well as supply chain and logistic company employees will be free to continue work despite a nationwide effort to mostly ban people from leaving their homes and halt activity due to a rise in coronavirus outbreaks.

Coronavirus: Despite 3-week lockdown, many remain on the move in Turkey

  ANKARA Turkish security forces on Friday patrolled main streets and set up checkpoints at entry and exits points of cities, to enforce Turkey s strictest COVID-19 lockdown to date. Still, many people were on the move as the government, desperate not to shut down the economy completely, kept some sectors exempt from the restrictions. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan imposed the new lockdown restrictions which took effect Thursday evening and will last until May 17 following an alarming resurgence that saw COVID-19 infections and fatalities reach record high levels. Under the restrictions which span the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, as well as the three-day Eid holiday residents are banned from leaving their homes except to shop for groceries or to meet other essential needs. Intercity travel requires special permits.
