The Netherlands will categorise Georgia as a ‘very high-risk area’ on August 8 following a sharp increase in coronavirus cases in the country.
Travellers from ‘very high-risk’ countries, including Georgia, must present evidence of full vaccination and negative PCR test from the past 72 hours.
Starting August 8 Georgian citizens, including fully-vaccinated ones, entering the Netherlands will be asked to undergo a mandatory 10-day quarantine.
Georgia has reported 3,780 new cases of coronavirus earlier today. Currently 38,806 individuals remain infected with Covid-19 in the country.
2,052 individuals have recovered and 30 have died from the virus in the past 24 hours.
Georgia has reported 3,780 new cases of coronavirus earlier today. Currently 38,806 individuals remain infected with Covid-19 in the country.
The Delta variant currently accounts for over 80 per cent of Covid-19 cases in Georgia, while almost 100 per cent of infections recorded in Batumi and Tbilisi are Delta Covid-19 variants, said Deputy Director of the National Centre for Disease Control of Georgia (NCDC) Paata Imnadze earlier today.
Georgian citizens will be prohibited from entering Bulgaria starting July 26 as Covid-19 cases have surged in Georgia in recent weeks.
Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili stated earlier today that another lockdown in Georgia would be ‘absolutely unjustified’ as the country has imported more than two million doses of coronavirus vaccine. Georgian government head noted that the lockdown won’t defeat the virus and underscored that mostly it is possible through vaccination.
