Wearing Face Mask in Open Space Becomes Mandatory

Wearing a face mask has also become mandatory outdoors. The decision was made by the Interagency Council of the Government.

"We have made a decision to make it mandatory not only to wear a face mask indoors but also in open spaces," Deputy Prime Minister Maia Tskitishvili stated, adding that the decision serves to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Citizens, who do not wear face masks both in closed and open spaces from November 4, will pay a 20-GEL fine.

“The sanction and regulation on wearing face masks will be the same both for open and closed spaces,” the Vice Prime Minister said. 

As of November 3, 1943 new cases of coronavirus have been detected in Georgia, bringing the total number of infected people to 44,522.

Currently, there are 15,527 active cases in the country.
