"We have had a number of cases where an individual who was not infected with Covid-19 went to the clinic for a specific operation and after the operation he/she was confirmed positive with the infection.

The government of Georgia has announced that it will not place a systemic lockdown into effect today as Georgian media outlets had earlier reported. Vice-PM Maia Tskitishvili says that the media reports were ‘wrong and misleading.’ She stated that the government will exercise a ‘more effective control’ on wearing facemasks, as ‘it is one of the most effective measures to prevent the further spread of coronavirus.’ Tskitishvili said that the opposition’s election-related rallies sparked a surge in new infections.
