I think there will be no additional restrictions for Easter - we should honor the deceased, but not with big feasts, we should be relatively restrained, this year's epidemic situation is better than in previous years, director of the National Center for Disease Control, Amiran Gamkrelidze, told InterPressNews.

"As you know, Easter is one of the biggest holidays. Fortunately, this year we are meeting Easter with a better epidemic situation, with less risk than it was last year, when we did not know much about the virus. And we also had high rates last year.

We have a relatively quiet pre-Easter period this year, this should not make us over-confident, the virus is still circulating in the country. There are 200-300 cases. It is understandable that it is Omicron and it is clinically lighter than last year.

I think there will be no additional restrictions, we have already learned and experienced a lot. Of course, we should celebrate it, it is a great holiday, we should honor the deceased, but not with big feasts, as you know the virus is spread at such celebration. We should be relatively restrained, this year's epidemic situation is better than in previous years," Gamkrelidze said.
