"As you know, certain restrictive measures have already been introduced in Georgia to tackle the pandemic. In light of the current epidemiological situation, these restrictions will have to be tightened even more. The Coordination Council will hold additional consultations this evening and also tomorrow. We will then get back to you with the details”, said Gamkrelidze.
