Paata Imnadze: The opening of the land borders is already being considered and they will probably be opened

The opening of the land borders is already being considered and they will probably be opened, - said Paata Imnadze, Deputy Director of the Center for Disease Control.

According to him, everything was done to make Georgia an attractive and safe country during the main tourist season.

"There was a very difficult situation on the land borders recently in our neighboring countries. In Turkey, for example, there is a "South African variant" of the coronavirus, a "Brazilian variant" and an "Indian variant". I understand the interests of business, tourism, but the country should be protected as much as possible. All our actions were aimed at making our country attractive and safe for tourists during the tourist season. Which clever tourist will come to a country that is collapsing?! Therefore, all our actions from the winter onwards were aimed at not having a very high peak in the country, not having a very high workload on the medical sector, which as you know is not easy to do and everything was aimed at making the country attractive for tourists. So far we are following these planned figures. Ultimately, the lives and health of our citizens are the most important,” Imnadze said.
