We can’t declare the lockdown, our economy will not be able to withstand it. Such a statement made today the Deputy Director of National Center for Disease Control and Public Health after a meeting between the Prime Minister and healthcare experts.

“The meeting was very important. Unfortunately, from the very beginning there were predictions that all the activities that were taking place in the country would be followed by such an increase in cases.

We all agree that the restrictions that exist in the country are no longer enough in this situation, it is necessary, so to speak, to make more targeted restrictions in the country.

We can not just declare a lockdown in the country now, our economy will not be able to withstand it, but the targeted restrictions must be expanded - we all agree on that; it will allow us to get out of this war with minimal losses”, - said Paata Imnadze.
