Irakli Gharibashvili: I want to tell our citizens with joy that Covid is almost defeated

When we abolished green cards, we were criticized by genius experts - in two months we saw that the process was managed well, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili said at the governmental meeting.

As the Prime Minister pointed out, coronavirus is almost defeated and the system has not faced any challenges in terms of virus management.

"I want to tell our citizens with joy that Covid is almost defeated. This is the situation today. Here I would like to remind the skeptics who criticized my statements two months ago. Green cards were abolished after Omicron emerged into circulation because they became pointless. Then we were criticized by some genius experts, but we saw, in just two months, that the process was well managed by the Minister, the Government, and the council, so the situation stabilized. The system had no challenges in terms of management. There are 100 cases today, which means the crisis has been overcome. We have lifted a number of restrictions, we have abolished the obligation to wear a mask outdoors, citizens will have more freedom in this area, and this stress and pressure will be removed," said Irakli Gharibashvili.
