The Mediterranean coast of Turkey is doing very well, very little in the way of cases and/or deaths. They locked down early and in a much more draconian manner than the UK. there were huge fines (even by UK standards, 5,000 Euro fine for being on the beach for example) Speaking to a friend who owns multiple hotels in Antalya,Side & Alanya areas Tourism is only now very slowly starting to pick up.

I'll let you know as we're going there soon. Mind you, we had our flights rescheduled and hotel changed as the one we booked is still closed...

Avsalar, not a million miles from Antalya. The hotel we're staying at is very proactive in communicating their COVID controls which gives a lot of confidence

We're staying (hopefully) just outside of Alanya, same as you the hotel have been excellent in communicating how they're going to handle everything (They don't reopen to guests until 15th August)

Lockdown measures are to be reimposed in the Aberdeen area after a spike in coronavirus cases.

*asking for a friend that thinks 50% of tests are wrong

mrmistoffelees · 05-08-2020, 13:04

No mate, not sure what that would be, but lets just close all bars and restaurants everywhere and let those businesses close.

Your use of the reported case count as a method of determining if an area should be placed into lockdown isn't relevant as the lockdown isn't designed to contain those 54 reported, individuals it's designed to contain whomever they may have have passed it onto and subsequent generations of infection risk.

Hardly rocket science to understand.

As the Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty has stated the country is pretty near the limit for opening up society and that means there will have to be some hard choices ahead.
