The TRNC Higher Committee for Infectious Diseases has announced new decisions.

According to the new decisions, people who come into contact with a Covid 19 positive person will continue their daily lives by wearing masks, even if they are unvaccinated, and will have an antigen test on the 5th and 7th day.

If people show symptoms before the days specified in their contact situation, PCR will be performed on the day, the symptom begins.

In addition, in accordance with the new decisions, AdaPass will no longer be questioned in market and outdoor sports. 

Here is the decisions;

1 - Anyone who has been vaccinated or has had the disease will be able to enter the country without quarantine and testing.

2 - Unvaccinated persons will be able to enter the country with a negative PCR done within the last 72 hours before the trip or a negative antigen test result made within the last 24 hours.

Unvaccinated people will have a Covid-19 test within 72-120 hours after entering the country.

3 - Everyone who will enter the TRNC by Air-Sea and Land must create a Digital Travel Document.
