The Georgian government says that ‘no systemic restrictions’ will be imposed. 

Only local restrictions may be imposed to prevent the further spread of the virus. On the one hand we must think about the health of our citizens and on the other hand about the state economy,” the head of the administration of the Government of Georgia Natia Mezvrishvili stated earlier today and urged people to wear face masks even in open areas. 

She repeated that wearing facemasks may prevent the spread of the virus by 70 per cent
