On September 13, municipal transport will resume, and a vaccine incentive lottery will start-these decisions were made by today's meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council chaired by Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at the Government Administration.
The vaccine incentive lottery, with its prize fund making up 2,800,000 GEL, will kick off on September 13, and winners of monetary prizes will be selected randomly among those vaccinated with either two or one shot. Daily and weekly lottery drawings will be held.
In addition, sports competitions will be held with no attendance, and their participants must be vaccinated or holders of negative results of PCR tests taken within 72 hours or of rapid antigen tests taken within 24 hours.
On the Interagency Coordination Council's decision, all other restrictions remain in force.
Facemasks are mandatory both indoors and outdoors. The Interagency Coordination Council once again urges citizens to wear facemasks, maintain social distancing, and engage in the process of vaccination.
