The US Department of State announced yesterday that the United States has provided nearly $139 million in health assistance to Georgia and more than $3.6 billion in total US assistance over the past 20 years.
Earlier this week, US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan praised the Georgian government for its "proactive steps" to contain the spread of COVID-19.
