The academic year will begin in September and the parliamentary elections will be held in October without any problems if Georgia maintains the current rate of infection. Such a statement made today the Head of Georgia’s National Centre for Disease Control.

“We are keeping the situation under full control for now. However, everything is dependent on us. If we stick to the recommendations and act as we acted in previous months, there will be no sharp increase in coronavirus cases. Moreover, Georgia may avoid a second wave of the virus, which is forecasted in the fall.

If individuals act freely, attend public gatherings and fail to stick to general recommendations and rules, there might be the need for a repeated state of emergency. But problems if Georgia maintains the current rate of infection, the academic year will begin in September and the parliamentary elections will be held in October without any problems”, - concluded Amiran Gamkrelidze.
