We must do everything to effectively manage the pandemic. Our country will no longer be able to withstand the new Neither lockdown nor these restrictions will be justified, moreover, it will damage the economy of our country, “Garibashvili said.
He explained that the next lockdown will force the government to take on a debt of several billion dollars, which will have to be paid by citizens.
Garibashvili asked the citizens of Georgia “to rely on scientists and science and believe in them, and not in the thousands of lies and gossip spread through Facebook.” He stressed that among those vaccinated, there are practically no deaths from coronavirus.
