Giorgi Gakharia: There is no need for a complete lockdown and strict restrictions, this is a rumor

According Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia, the information that a complete lockdown or restriction of movement is planned from January 3 is a rumor. As Gakharia said in the government administration after the meeting of the Council, there is no reason to impose severe restrictions, as the effects of the recent restrictions are already felt and the health care system is coping with the challenges sustainably.

"Nothing will change, as we said, we are following the plan. There will be no full lockdown and restrictions on movement, by car or on foot. The shops have been opened since December 24 and they will be closed, there will be no other restrictions in the country. No restrictions will be imposed in the country and no full lockdown will be announced. There is no need for this, we are already feeling the effects of the recent restrictions, our healthcare system is coping with the challenges that exist today, so there is no need for any lockdowns and strict restrictions, these are rumors", - said Giorgi Gakharia.
