Wearing face masks in enclosed spaces to remain mandatory in Georgia

Wearing face masks in enclosed spaces will remain mandatory in Georgia. The relevant statement was made today by the Advisor to the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Chikovani.

According to him, citizens will still need to observe the social distancing rules.

“From May 23, wearing face masks in enclosed spaces and observing the social distancing rules will remain mandatory. The quarantine has been lifted in Bolnisi municipality and only the villages of Mushavani and Geta remain quarantine zones, where active preventive epidemiological measures are being taken at this stage. Tetritskaro municipality remains the quarantine zone. Restrictions on the presence of more than three people in the car have been lifted from today and this restriction will apply only during taxi service. Also, all taxi drivers will be required to use face masks. Restrictions on leaving the home for people aged 70 years or over have also lifted, but since these people are at high risk, we urge them to leave the house only when absolutely necessary," Irakli Chikovani said.
