Education Mister says there are no reasons for panic in Georgia

I would like to tell you that there is no reason to panic, Minister of Education and Science Mikheil Chkhenkeli said after a meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council. He said that the decision to disinfect schools was made due to preventive measures against the coronavirus.

“Based on the recommendation of the Ministry of Health, we decided to disinfect schools in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Therefore, we have decided that Spring Holidays will start on March 2 instead of March 19 and will last until March 16. The two weeks will give us enough time to completely disinfect schools. Let me tell you, there is no reason to panic. We are working closely with the World Health Organization and the Georgian government fully controls the process, ”Mikheil Chkhenkeli said.
