WHO Senior Emergencies Officer says Georgia must make sure that hotel sector can introduce all security measures and health care system can manage any case of virus

According to Catherine Smallwood, Senior Emergencies Officer at the World Health Organization, Georgia has worked extremely well to control the spread of the virus.

According to her, in order to receive tourists, the country must make sure that the hotel sector can introduce all security measures and the health care system can manage any case of the virus in the region where tourism is most developed.

Catherine Smallwood made the above remarks in response to a question from InterPressNews about the safety of Georgia for tourists.

"Many countries that have strong tourism sectors are waiting for these sectors to re-operate safely, so that all the conditions are met and tourists can receive all the care and services they may need.

As for Georgia in particular, the situation is changing and it is very difficult to say exactly what kind of the situation there will be in a month or two. At this point, we can confidently say that Georgia has worked extremely well to control the spread of the virus, and less than 100 cases have been reported in the last two weeks. This is a country that is taking really important steps to minimize the spread of the virus”, Catherine Smallwood said.
