Looking at the Greek figures for daily new cases, which are now running at a higher level than they were during the "first wave" I would say there is no justification for keeping them off the list; and there is a general consensus that Erdogan and his henchmen are massaging the Turkish figures too.

It really is difficult to see how the air travel industry, and perhaps even more so, the tour operating industry is expected to survive Covid-19. The latter rely on the summer revenue to pay the winter bills and make them profits; now there is next to no revenue coming in, and it looks very likely that what revenue there would be in normal times during the winter season could also be decimated.

There are very few industries that I would like to be working in at the moment from a job security perspective, and travel and tourism is right down the bottom of that list, sadly.
