Travelling to Turkey? Check new quarantine rules for travelers from India

Turkey's envoy to Delhi Firat Sunel told Zee Media that now more Indian tourists will benefit from the beauties of Turkey and hospitalities of the Turkish people.

New Delhi: Turkey on Saturday (September 4, 2021) eased quarantine rules for travelers from India, a move that will help increased people to people engagement. One of the key relaxations has been given to people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with a Covishield vaccine as they will now be exempted from mandatory quarantine. A release by the Turkish embassy in Delhi said, "Passengers who certify that they have had at least 2 doses (single dose for Johnson and Johnson) of the vaccines approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization or Turkey, provided that at least 14 days have passed since the last dose, will be exempted from mandatory quarantine."  This is to be noted that Covishield has been approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization.
