Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia says that the Georgian economy continues to function, as does the education system and 'we have no grounds or desire to restrict these today because of the increased number of coronavirus cases.’
Gakharia said that although the healthcare system is coping with the increasing number of coronavirus cases, this does not mean that the resources of the healthcare system are unlimited.
A healthcare system’s resources have a limit that we need to consider. To avoid the restrictions we must follow the basic requirements - masks, distancing, hygiene and care for the elderly, especially in Adjara. We are not telling anyone to stay home except for older people. The institutions should show responsibility, should provide disinfection of buildings and control of their employees, so that medical workers can respond quickly if necessary”, Gakharia said.
