Rustavi and Gardabani will reopen on May 14, and Marneuli on May 18.
On May 11 all kinds of manufacturing will be resumed in Georgia.

The cities of Batumi and Kutaisi, which were put on lockdown on April 15 to contain the spread of COVID-19, will reopen tomorrow, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia stated earlier today. Tbilisi and Rustavi will remain on lockdown for some time, Gakharia said, adding that the restrictions may be lifted by the end of the week.
