Georgian citizens who were tested for the coronavirus until December 1, 2021 but unable to register their status in the database of the National Centre for Disease Control “for various reasons” will receive the COVID ‘green status’, Head of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Amiran Gamkrelidze told Interpressnews agency on Tuesday.
Gamkrelidze said the move would reflect the status of the patients who remained under medical attention at hospitals, quarantine hotels, and at home.
The NCDC head also said starting February 1 the testing of asymptomatic people, excluding doctors, could be temporarily suspended in the country.
The COVID-19 ‘green pass’ went into effect in Georgia on December 1 as a proof of vaccination, testing or recovery from the virus. The pass is used for access to certain venues and establishments across the country.
The Georgian Health Ministry has created a new portal, https://er.moh.gov.ge/, which allows Georgian citizens to register their COVID-19 status online.
Georgian citizens over 50 years of age will receive 100 GEL (about $32) if they receive their third - 'booster' - shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, Chief of the Operational Staff of the Interagency Coordination Council Giorgi Gibradze said on Tuesday.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said the government aims to extend the vaccination incentive programme, which allows people over the age of 50 to get a 200 GEL reward after receiving the first dose of the vaccine, adding “all vaccines available today should be used."
Foreign citizens and individuals with non-resident status in Georgia can now use the health ministry's newly launched application for confirming their Covid-related status during their stay in the country, while the government has also announced venues and establishments the pass will allow access to.
