Based on the country's epidemiological trends, starting tomorrow, eateries will be allowed to extend their working hours until 11 PM, instead of 10 PM, and the ban on concerts and festivals will be removed so long as applicable regulations are observed. These decisions were made by today's meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council chaired by Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at the Government Administration.
On the council's decision, the Georgia-Greece football match scheduled for October 9 will have a 33% cap on attendance, with mandatory document proof of full vaccination, negative PCR test results within the past 72 hours or negative antigen tests within the past 24 hours, or document proof of COVID-19 infection within the past 6 months to be presented on entering.
The Coordination Council, after having discussed the process of vaccination, made a decision to step up immunization and ensure maximal access to vaccines by dispatching mobile crews to the regions, to various settlements, and provide willing local residents with relevant services on the ground.
In addition, relevant institutions will continue strict control over compliance with applicable regulations.
The Interagency Coordination Council once again urges citizens to wear facemasks both indoors and outdoors, also to maintain social distancing and engage in the process of vaccination.
The country presently offers WHO-authorized vaccines from Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, and Sinopharm. Notably, an additional million doses of Sinopharm were imported on October 1.
Since the first coronavirus case in Georgia, the country has seen 621,340 confirmed cases, with 593,153 recoveries and 9,110 deaths.
34 persons are presently under quarantine, 597 are in clinical hotels, and 4,025 are hospitalized under medical supervision.
The Parliament of Georgia led by Speaker Kakha Kuchava and the President's Administration are actively involved in the work of the Interagency Coordination Council chaired by the Prime Minister.
