We must all understand that Georgia can use the crisis as an opportunity for the further development of the country’s economy and we must all work together to identify the points of growth and breakthroughs in our respective areas, which the country can successfully manage and handle. Such a statement made the Prime Minister of Georgia at the presentation of the Anti-Crisis Plan on Agriculture.

According to Giorgi Gakharia, for the first time, “we have one case of infection and 16 recoveries in 24 hours, which is a significant achievement, though this is no reason to relax”.

“On the contrary, we should be even stricter in the enforcement of the regulations established by the representatives of the healthcare system. Adherence to regulations and discipline is the only way to guarantee that we will be able to restore economic activities more quickly and efficiently than others. This is very important.

We must convert the effective management of the COVID-19 infection into an opportunity for economic growth. This is of critical importance. When we say that we are fighting on two fronts - those of human health and lives, and of rapid economic recovery - we mean just that. Georgia can use this crisis as an opportunity and this must be our goal and our motto until the end of this year, as well as in the coming year. The effectiveness of economic revival is directly related to how well we follow the regulations established by doctors. This is not difficult to accomplish. We must always wear our face masks, we must maintain social distance, observe the basic rules of hygiene and many others, though this is easy to do. Unfortunately, the pandemic and the virus are events with which we will need to co-exist for some time”, - concluded the Head of the Government.
