Health Minister: The Church took responsibility for maintaining social distance, as in many cases, the fear of God is much stronger than obedience to law

The Church took responsibility for maintaining social distance, as in many cases, the fear of God is much stronger than obedience to law, - Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze said.

As Ekaterine Tikaradze stated on PalitraNews, she is sure that the Church will ensure the safety of its parishioners.

"In the case of the Church, we expect a high level of responsibility, because it has set an example for us. Georgia and the Church have well realized all the risks that we saw in Italy. But there was the lack of information about risks in Italy and mobilization began late. However, we can in no way compare Georgia to Italy. I am convinced that in this case, when the Church took responsibility for maintaining social distance, they will inevitably protect it, since in many cases, the fear of God is far stronger than obedience to law. With this in mind, I am confident that our Church will ensure the safety of its parishioners,” Tikaradze said.
