Cyprus Health Tourism Council President Dr. Ahmet Savaşan In a television program he attended, he underlined that it is essential to take measures in accordance with the changing conditions in order to protect public health and drew attention to the importance of supervision as well as taking measures. Pointing out that it is an inevitable necessity to start tourism and higher education in a controlled manner in order not to bankrupt the country, Savaşan pointed out the importance of taking the necessary steps for this without delay.

Noting that the TRNC is one of the most successful countries in the world in terms of protecting the health of the Turkish Cypriot people despite the shortcomings and setbacks Ahmet Savaşan, “The government has succeeded in protecting the health of our people with the decisions taken on a scientific basis and at the right time, and of course with the great compliance of the people and the great dedication shown by the employees of all health and other relevant departments. It has also protected the health of tourists, students and workers in our country without any discrimination and proved to the world that it is a reliable country and tourism destination.”.

“WE CAN SURVIVE THE SECOND WAVE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A SHUTDOWN...”

Pointing out that the second wave is very severe in the world Ahmet Savaşan, emphasizing that the increasing number of cases in the TRNC in recent days has warned the people of the country not to compromise on social distance, mask use and hygiene issues, “there are fluctuations in the world and in our country. I believe that we can achieve the success we have achieved in the fight against COVID-19 until today, if our people fulfill their responsibilities and the measures are strictly supervised, without the need to close again.”.

“SUPERVISED INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS NEED TO BE REGULATED...”

Stating that some people and segments, knowingly or unknowingly, are trying to create a perception as if they are making a choice between protecting the health of the society and bringing tourists and students from abroad to turn the wheels of the economy, Savaşan reminded that similar criticisms were made mercilessly in the first wave.

“The result is obvious. Yes, the first priority is the health of our people. But it should not be forgotten that people in a bankrupt country cannot have either mental or mental health. For this reason, I believe that supervised international arrivals should be organized in order for the wheels of the economy to turn without leaving the caution in hand.”.
