Marmaris went to sleep and woke up to earthquakes

Last night Marmaris felt the aftershock of the earthquake out at sea just South of Marmaris, on the line between Marmaris and the island of Rhodes in Greece. This morning we woke up to another earthquake at around 7AM. Unfortunately earthquakes are part of life in this part of the Mediterranean and the Aegean. Yet this time the reaction of the community was somewhat different. Before many would go out and sleep in their gardens or cars. This time nobody seemed to be out, let alone sleeping out of their homes. Perhaps the latest events on a global scale have made us stronger. We have developed a high resistance to stress which is good in these difficult times.

How are Marmaris hospitals and Emergency units handling the situation

How are Marmaris hospitals and Emergency units handling the situation Dear Friends, For the last few weeks there are more talks about the second wave. Ankara was given the name of “Wuhan” city for the currect crisis with rapidly increased number of COVID-19 patients.On the daily news we listen to the Turkish authorities who keep telling the measures will be increased.Needless to say we stayed away from hospitals and healthcare places.All kinds of stories are told about how busy and overcrowded local hospitals and emergency units are in our small resort of Marmaris.Since there is no way to be able to see statistics on how busy hospitals are in Marmaris we have decided to take the step and made two random visits to one of the major hospitals in Marmaris which claims to have sufficient critical supplies and the capacity to treat non-COVID patients.First visit was in the evening when Click here for details >>
