VIRUS CASES REDUCING AND GOVERNMENT GRADUALLY
LIFTING RESTRICTIONS
GOVERNMENT SAFETY MEASURES
Georgia was among the first countries to introduce strict virus
containment measures, including border closures, curfew, ban on
transportation, quarantines, nonessential business closures, among
others.
The swift response helped to limit the spread of the virus in 1H20, but
the surge in virus cases in autumn 2020 prompted for a partial
second-round lockdown in December 2020 - January 2021.
Government started gradually lifting restrictions from 1 February 2021
and resumed flights to a number of countries. Considering vaccination
roll-out and reduced virus cases, a full-scale reopening of the economy
is expected in early-sprig of 2021.
The Government maintains an informational website that provides
live statistics on the spread of the virus in Georgia - www.stopcov.ge
