All air passengers arriving in Turkey are required to fill in an entry form at least 72 hours before their travel starting on March 15, Turkish Airlines has announced.
"A private HES code will be created automatically by the given information. We will be able to contact with you in the event of any contact with a COVID-19 patient during your travel and stay thanks to HES Code," says a note on the website.
HES is an application which tracks virus contacts. The application assigns a unique code to individuals which is used to enter public buildings or other venues or when travel, Hürriyet Daily reported.
"The form may be checked at the Turkish borders. If you haven’t filled in the form or made misleading statements, you may face legal and administrative sanctions. Furthermore, you might not be allowed to enter Turkey," the note on the site informs.
