Georgian government officials and members of parliament will be vaccinated against the coronavirus this week, while the tourism and hospitality sector, public transport drivers and ticket controllers will be prioritized for vaccination in the coming future, Chief of the Operational Staff of the Interagency Coordination Council Giorgi Gibradze announced at a briefing today.

The tourism industry will be a priority group in the vaccination process, because it is very important to restore this field in the country.
