All restrictions, except for wearing a mask in transport and indoor space, to be lifted in Georgia

According to the decision of the Interagency Coordination Council, all restrictions related to coronavirus, except for wearing a mask in transport and indoor space, will be lifted.

Among them, restrictions limiting the number of people in food facilities, as well as sports, arts or other events will be lifted. The obligation of self-isolation for persons who return to the country without a PCR test will also no longer apply.

Giorgi Ghibradze, Head of the Task Force under the Interagency Coordination Council, introduced the decisions of the Council at the briefing held at the governmental administration.

"From March 28, the obligation to wear a mask in the open space will be abolished and it will be only of a recommendatory nature. The obligation to wear a mask in public transport and indoors will be maintained. Restrictions on the number of people in food facilities, as well as sports, arts or other events will be lifted. Employees working remotely will be able to return to their workplaces. The obligation of self-isolation for persons who return to the country without a PCR test will also no longer apply.

The vaccination promoting programme will be maintained.

Virtually all the regulations, except for the obligation to wear a mask in closed space and public transport, are being abolished at this stage," Giorgi Ghibradze said.
