How to Take a Vacation In Coronavirus Process?
 

While struggling with COVID-19 continues in our country as in the rest of the world, summer vacation plans are started to be made within the 'normalization' process. Can you take a vacation in the shade of the virus? What measures should be taken? Does the sea, pool, sun loungers or common areas used by everyone increase the risk of contamination? How will social distance be maintained during the meal?

 During the fight against the new Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19); social distance, hygiene and wearing masks come first as invariable rules. It may be possible to have a summer holiday within the framework of these rules.

Although there has been some reduction in the fight against COVID-19 in June and afterwards, the rules will continue until all information about the virus becomes clear (how much it is affected by heat and sun, the speed of its spread in the community, the number of current cases). Although there is no information about the spread of COVID-19 with sea and pool water, it is not expected to smear too much.

Do not be mistaken by thoughts like "This summer holiday will be like the former one", This epidemic will end". Everyone must follow all precautions. Although the activity of the virus continues, its infectivity may not be the same as it is now.
Sunbeds can be used with 35-40 minutes apart…

* Although the data showing the transmission temperature of the virus has been previously published, it will definitely be affected by the temperatures.

Before using the sunbed for sunbathing, the possibility of virus infection should be taken into account. Considering that the virus is affected by ultraviolet lights, it can live under the sun for a maximum of 30 minutes; the sunbeds that someone else touches can be used at the earliest 35-40 minutes later.

Social distance rule and hygiene rules must be obeyed in restaurants in common areas such as hotels and holiday villages.

It was found that the infectiousness was slightly more infectious with increasing virus related information. For this reason, one meter distance is ideal; the risk is as high as two minutes in case of coughing-sneezing. Also, a mask must be worn while outside.
"The vaccine maybe January 2021!"

The COVID-19 vaccine is expected to be available only in January 2021. The application will be carried out primarily in groups with higher risk, and then according to the course of the virus. Widely applicable can find spring months.

Pandemic Effects In The Global Economy
 

At the same time as the recovery in China, both the effects of the virus and the signs of economic collapse began to appear all over the world. The first sectors affected by the sudden halt were aviation, tourism, restaurateur, apparel and other retail sectors, while temporarily there was a jump in sales in the food and health sectors. In parallel with the spread of the virus, industrial production stagnation and breakdowns in supply chains began to occur. As the countries quickly closed borders against each other, the logistics lines were severed uncontrollably.
