Gov't Lifts Restriction on Gathering of more than 3 People

"We have made a decision to lift the restriction on gathering of more than three people, both indoors and outdoors," Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia said at a government meeting.

However, the head of the government explained that the restriction on the presence of no more than three people in a car is still in force.

"We have decided to lift the restriction on the gathering of more than three people, both indoors and outdoors, but this does not mean that the restriction on the presence of three people in acar will also be lifted. This restriction has an important epidemiological explanation. Our doctors have convinced us of this. The recommendations of professionals in the fight against the epidemic are critically important,” Gakharia noted. 

In Georgia, the State of Emergency is declared until May 22 due to the new coronavirus. However, state officials claim that if COVID-19 cases continue to shrink, the country will be able to return to the normal course and speed up the process of lifting restrictions. 

Currently, there are 257 active cases in the country.
