D. The quarantine applications of those who go abroad for health reasons will be evaluated if they apply to the Ministry of Health.

E. For those coming from the countries in category C, it is obligatory to submit the PCR test result, which is made between 0-120 hours before the boarding date and whose result is negative, to the Ministry of Health officials when they enter the TRNC. These persons will be quarantined in a quarantine centre determined by the Ministry of Health for 14 days and PCR test can be performed when necessary.

NOTE:

  • No changes have been made in the practices regarding the PCR tests requested from the people coming from Category B.
