PM: If the possibility of reducing the quarantine period is such that it does not harm the health of our citizens, we should use it

"If the possibility of reducing the quarantine period is such that it does not harm the health of our citizens, we should use it", - Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia told reporters.

As Gakharia noted, the coronavirus is a global pandemic and no country can defeat it alone.

"The Ministry of Healthcare and the epidemiologists were instructed at the last meeting of the Council to provide several options for quarantine management. We understand very well that if we are in a much better position in terms of epidemic management than others, then if the possibility of reducing the quarantine period is such that it does not harm the health of our citizens, we should use it. Accordingly, they received this instruction and at the next session we will hear the results of their research. The goal is simple, we all agree that slowly, carefully, we have to open borders, gradually the economy should start to move forward. No one, no country alone can defeat the virus, it is a global pandemic. We, most importantly, need to learn how to manage the virus. We should not be afraid if the number of infected people increases by 20-30-40, if we know the source, know how to treat and manage this process, of course, we should not impose additional restrictions on the economy and our citizens, especially when the electoral process is underway", - stated Gakharia.
