Georgian Public Advocate Nino Lomjaria has slammed the Georgian Dream government for an ‘ineffective management of the coronavirus pandemic’ and an ‘ineffective vaccination campaign’ which has resulted in ‘many deaths.’
Georgia has reported 3,454 new cases of coronavirus, 3,334 recoveries and 49 deaths in the past 24 hours. The positivity rate in the country has come down to 8.06% as of December 10 over the last 14 days. Overall 44,723 remain infected with COVID-19 in Georgia.
Foreigners travelling in Georgia who are not registered in the COVID ‘green’ apps offered by the Georgian government will be able to have access to various facilities if they present proof they have been granted ‘green status’ by their own country. The ‘proof’ includes a QR code or a document issued by an official agency (of the country where a traveller is from) that an individual is completely vaccinated or a negative PCR test certificate (conducted within the last 72 hours).
Booster shots of the Covid-19 vaccine will be permitted five months after getting the second shot of the Pfizer vaccine, down from the initially recommended six, the Georgian Health Ministry reports.
