Vakhtang Kaloiani: We are setting anti-records in pandemic management - this dynamic will not stop until the government stops making populist decisions

Every day we are setting anti-records in pandemic management, - Vakhtang Kaloiani, a member of European Georgia, said at a briefing today.

According to him, the high number of deaths and coronavirus infections will not decrease until the government stops making politically motivated decisions to manage the pandemic. Here he names a certain plan for how to manage the epidemic.

"Unfortunately, every day we are setting anti-records in pandemic management. We are now one of the leaders in terms of death rate. Unfortunately, this dynamic will not stop. Neither the number of infected nor the death rate will be reduced until the government stops making populist, politically motivated decisions in pandemic management. There are urgent steps to be taken, which European Georgia has been calling on the government since March: first, it is a very active information campaign; second, it is mandatory testing or vaccination in epidemiologically high-risk groups; And a purposeful educational campaign. It seems that Prime Minister Gharibashvili and the Georgian Dream feel more spiritual closeness to anti-vaxxers than to the basic principles of modern medicine, so his whole policy, the Georgian Dream's epidemic management policy, is a kind of encouragement and pleasure for the anti-vaxxers, aggressive groups, the price of which we pay with the death 80 people and many are infected every day", - Kaloiani said.

Vakhtang Kaloyan noted that hospitals are on the verge of a critical workload.
