According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, the head of the National Center for Disease Control, considering the pandemic, the positions regarding holding of Easter in a trouble-free way will be agreed with the Patriarchate.

As he told reporters after the meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council, the issue is already being discussed.

"The Center for Disease Control has its recommendations. Of course, there will be meetings, talks with the Patriarchate, so that, like the last year, we come to a common decision that Easter, this biggest holiday of our country and population, can be held as we deserve and as the population needs. At the same time, anti-epidemic measures must be taken to prevent further spread of the epidemic. I think we will reach an agreement to celebrate our holiday in moderation and to observe epidemic measures as well", - Gamkrelidze said.
