Girne Mayor Nidai Güngördü said: “Nowadays when we feel the effect of warmer weather, we observe that human mobility and socialisation are increasing in businesses across our city. This situation is positive for the vitality of our economy but it creates a risk in terms of Covid-19 transmission. As the Municipality, we continuously carry out the legal inspections of the enterprises to ensure pandemic measures are being implemented.
It it important to continue with protection by using masks, personal social distance and hand hygiene for our valuable people. It is possible to manage these difficult processes. For this, we need good cooperation with our people, tradesmen, and local administrators. In addition to the continuation of daily life, it is imperative that all of us actively contribute to this process in order to maintain economic dynamism. Since commercial enterprises have more responsibility, all necessary precautions should be taken. Criminal sanctions will continue to be imposed on businesses that do not work in accordance with the rules in order to prevent the sectors from closing.”
