I must emphasize that the restrictions do not apply to election agitation and campaigning. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia during the government meeting.

“The gathering of more than 200 people at sports or cultural events, in the open air will be prohibited. In closed buildings, as of today, it is already prohibited.

As for ritual events - unfortunately, we understand that this has caused some discomfort and possibly annoy our citizens, but a good example is one of the weddings held in Tbilisi, I will not name the restaurant, which caused 5 new clusters - one in Tsageri, growing cluster, one in Kutaisi, one in Zugdidi, etc.

We are expecting an increase in infections in these areas and the main event that caused this, unfortunately, was the wedding. We were forced to add the restriction of more than 10 people to avoid such rituals. Our main goal is to protect the health of our citizens”, - said Giorgi Gakharia.
