Gov't Permits Open Air Seminars and Trainings, All Types of Adventure Activities
Within the scope of a gradual re-opening of the economy and domestic tourism in Georgia, the Government has ruled to permit seminars and training in open air, along with any and all types of adventure activities, e.g. rafting, kayaking, canoeing – marine, air and land adventure activities. Seminars and trainings held in open air, as well as permitted adventure activities, should be practiced in line with general recommendations of the Ministry of Health. The referred decision has been taken at the Inter-Agency Coordination Council led by Giorgi Gakharia, Prime Minister of Georgia in a format of video conferencing today.
Council members reviewed the performance of extended Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests in priority groups defined in the applicable Government Resolution, along with a gradual increase of its capacity. It was noted that by the end of the year the country will need to run 10 000 PCR tests a day.
In addition, along with the re-opening of domestic tourism and for efficient risk management, control will be continued over the compliance with the pre-defined rules and standards at hotels, restaurants and other food outlets. The government once again urges businesses to strictly adhere to the pre-defined regulations so that the enforcement of penalties envisaged in the legislation of Georgia is brought to the minimum of the need.
By considering the current epidemiologic situation, strict quarantine restrictions will be maintained in Mushevani village of the Bolnisi Municipality.
