Students can apply for home Quarantine from the Ministry of Health

The TRNC Ministry of Health has implemented quarantine services that require persons/students entering North Cyprus to quarantine themselves at home or government facilities in order to limit the introduction and spread of Covid 19 in the country.

With the new decision, prospective students and individuals will have a mandatory 10-14 day quarantine period starting from the day the person enters North Cyprus. 

The duration of mandatory quarantine is determined by public health authorities and this is enforceable by law.
