Important Announcement About COVID-19 Filiation Applications

Dear members and students,

Within the scope of the change made by the Scientific Board of the Ministry of Health in the applications of filiation as of January 5, 2022;

The quarantine period of COVID-19 positive cases is set at 7 days. After the 7th day, the quarantine period ends for people who show little or no symptoms. If positive individuals have returned to the 5th day, the quarantine time is turned to the negative of the test result, the HES code is updated as "risk-free" and the person continues to work life.

If contact persons have received the reminder dose vaccine or have had the disease in the last 3 months, the restriction is not applied and they are not quarantined. They continue their daily lives by following the rules of mask, distance, and hygiene by following the symptom follow-up.

Students who have contact with family members or positive friends are not restricted or quarantined if they have received a reminder dose vaccine or have had the disease in the last 3 months. They continue their daily lives by following the rules of mask, distance, and hygiene by following the symptom follow-up.

People who are unvaccinated or have been contacted 3 months after the reminder dose vaccine are quarantined for 7 days and symptom follow-up is carried out. If they get tested on the 5th day, they can end their quarantine early if the test result turns negative.

On this occasion, we strongly emphasize once again that maximum compliance with mask, distance, and hygiene measures is of great importance for the continuity of our education due to the rapidly increasing COVID-19 Omicron variant, and we strongly recommend that 3rd dose vaccines be made as a reminder and wish you healthy days.
