The Interagency Coordination Council recommends employers to switch to remote working. In addition, according to the Council's decision, May 4-11 has been declared a public holiday throughout Georgia.

According to the government administration, the Coordination Council discussed the epidemiological situation at today's meeting, which is deteriorating around the world, including in Georgia. It was noted that the dynamics of the increase in the number of cases observed in the country is noteworthy and requires a particularly responsible approach from both the government and the citizens. The need to observe the established regulations was once again underlined, which will prevent the country from the third wave of the virus and, consequently, will evade the need to impose strict restrictions.

According to the government administration, the meeting also focused on the importance of further intensifying the ongoing vaccination process in the country. It was noted that the country will receive new doses of vaccines in the near future. At the same time, under the instruction and with the direct involvement of the Prime Minister, active negotiations are underway with vaccine manufacturers and partner countries to mobilize additional doses as soon as possible.

In addition, according to the decision of the Council, based on the assessment of the current epidemiological situation, the restriction on movement from 21:00 to 05:00 will remain in force.
