Will a curfew be enforced on May 30 and 31, 2020? Curfews introduced because of the coronavirus continue to be enforced nationwide. We are in the fourth day of the most recent, countrywide restrictions. With the four-day ban concluding, attention has shifted to the upcoming weekend, May 30 and 31. Whether a curfew will be imposed on Saturday and Sunday is now one of the most frequently asked questions.
Because of the coronavirus restrictions, the nation spent the Ramadan holiday at home. As we finish the fourth day of the holiday period, people are watching the weekend of May 30–31 closely. Across Turkey, citizens are waiting to learn if the weekend curfew will be applied, and if so, where it will be enforced. If the decline in confirmed cases continues after the holiday and new case numbers fall significantly, authorities plan to lift the curfew during June. Separately, restrictions for people aged 20 and under and those 65 and over—who have been allowed limited outings on specific days—are planned to be eased by mid-June.
Will a Curfew Be Enforced on Saturday May 30 and Sunday May 31?
Following the curfew imposed between May 23 and May 26 for the Ramadan holiday, many await further announcements about the coming weekend. There has been no official statement yet. The cabinet, chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will meet on May 28, 2020, to discuss and decide on measures related to the normalization process.
