quick google translation from https://www.gundemkibris.com/kibris/ist ... 91704.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;:

In the private sector, all shops, businesses, casinos, night clubs, bet offices, Entertainment centers, etc., except for businesses that produce services within the framework of meeting basic needs such as pharmacy, gas station, bakery, and market. places will be closed until 27/03/2020.

Within the framework of these two measures, it is obvious that a large number of our citizens will stay at home and do not need to go out to the streets. On the other hand, as the government, we call for no one to go out to the street unless it is necessary. Also, depending on the developments within the next 48 hours, our Council of Ministers will evaluate the partial or full curfew under section 156.

From my interpretation of the above all bars, restaurants, yapi markets,etc have to close.
How is this going to be controlled and what are these employees going to live on?

I applaud the measures . Not yet as stringent as china but its worked well there . They should be doing this in the uk but they darent because of the economic cost.

I think as north cyprus economy is mostly relieble on tourism which is now screwed it was amuch easier decision to make.

My wifes just c e n from the supermarket she said there was a 100s of people there with trollies stacked high.
