The Ministry of Industry and Technology stated that the elevator industry has a very important function in combating the corona virus, and asked for the maintenance and inspection of the elevator to continue.

The following information was given in the statement; "It is well known that there will be a greater need for safe means of transportation, which will facilitate access to health services, especially in emergencies that will be encountered during this period of epidemic. For this reason, periodic checks and monthly maintenance are of special importance for elevators to provide continuous and safe service to ensure human life and property safety. However, loss of life and property that may result from malfunctions and accidents that may occur in elevators during the postponement period also pose an important risk. If such a risk occurs in an epidemic environment, the situation that the elevator industry will face before the public should also be evaluated. On the other hand, in the epidemic and post-epidemic process, it is considered important to continue elevator manufacturing, assembly, maintenance and control activities and to protect employment in this field in line with the aim of “maintaining production and protecting employment”.
