TURKEY STARTS TRAVEL BAN BUT BRITONS DON’T COMPLY
One of Britain’s most respected newspapers, The Times, revealed that holiday-hungry Brits came to Turkey on holiday without the practice of quarantine by having hair sowing and Aesthetic Surgery. “Normally, Turkey practices quarantine, but they do not do this practice in aesthetic operations in Turkey,” the newspaper commented.
The Times, one of the UK’s most respected newspapers, wrote that many Britons come to Turkey both for holidays and to perform plastic surgery, so they can take holidays without the practice of quarantine.
“I started going bald 5 years ago,” said a 35-year-old lawyer who spoke to the newspaper. Thanks to the pandemic process, I decided to have a hair transplant in Istanbul in the days when we were closed to houses and went to Istanbul,” he said. The Times wrote that a large number of Britons have had botox, hair transplants and liposuction performed in Istanbul during the quarantine period.

THEY ARE NOT QUARANTINED
David went to Turkey with the support of the government, the Times said, adding that the British Ministry of Health does not prohibit hair transplants or aesthetic interventions. “Those who went from the UK to Turkey for operations this year had to comply with Turkey’s mandatory 10-day quarantine. Turkey has banned direct flights because of the British mutation, and it has become mandatory for those who have gone to the UK in the last 10 days to be quarantined,” he said. But none of those who have come from the UK to have hair transplants have been quarantined.”
Although the number of cases in Turkey has increased recently, those who come from the United Kingdom for Aesthetic Surgery are in good spirits, The Times wrote that Turkish health tourism is of great value to Turkey. The newspaper recalled that one out of every 3 tourists who came to Turkey in 2019 came for medical reasons, resulting in a revenue of about $ 1.2 billion.
The Times said, “The historic city of 7 Hills is now the capital of hair transplantation. On the main streets are people with blood on their heads and the logo of the bandage of the clinic where they went. Every year, hundreds of people go to Turkey for this reason. In Turkey, this operation costs £ 1,500, while in the UK, at least £ 8,000 should be discredited for a similar operation. Because of the pandemic in Turkey last year, the revenues of health tourism decreased by almost 50 percent,” he commented.
Speaking to the newspaper, Turkish doctors and clinic owners said the British had come to Turkey with government support money.

BRITS BREAK THE RULES
Because of the mutated virus, Turkey has taken drastic measures against tourists from the UK, while the Times revealed that many British citizens have gone to Ireland and flown directly from there to Turkey.
Speaking to the newspaper, a Belfast dentist said he had traveled to Dublin over the Easter holiday and from there went straight to Istanbul.
