The country is getting ready to receive tourists from July.
The EU has announced three new projects to help victims of domestic violence, IDPs, and persons with disabilities across Georgia cope with the Covid-19 crisis, the EU representation in Georgia stated earlier today.
Georgian international airports are making preparations to receive international visitors starting July 1, and to ensure their services will be in line with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health to ensure the safety of all travellers.
Tourism will reopen in Georgia through so-called 'safe corridors' to ensure an organised inflow of foreign visitors from countries which have positive results in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, says the Vice Prime Minister of Georgia and the country's Minister of Infrastructure Maia Tskitishvili.
Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia says that the government has plans to conduct a large-scale study with international partners on the coronavirus’ effect on different aspects of the country.
Georgia has tested 60, 273 people for coronavirus in Georgia between January 30 and June 3 with the use of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests, which is the ‘gold standard’ in testing the virus.
Tourists from Czechia may be among the first to travel to Georgia after the country lifts its travel ban imposed in mid March amid the coronavirus pandemic. Israel is also promoting Georgia as a safe tourist destination; talks are underway with Greece, Poland and Baltic states as well.
