Georgians travelling to Lithuania will be obliged to go into 14-days self-isolation and also present a negative PCR test for coronavirus conducted within the last 72 hours.

The period of self-isolation may be decreased to 10 days if the person will be tested for the coronavirus no earlier than the eighth day of the quarantine.
