Yesterday, October 17, the head of the National Center for Disease Control, Amiran Gamkrelidze, said that if the number of daily vaccinations in the country does not increase, the government will have to impose restrictions.
"Unfortunately, the number of daily vaccinations has dropped, which is very bad. Therefore, we need to increase the vaccination rate. Tomorrow the vaccination marathon will start and we will see how the population will react. We will monitor the situation. If we do not increase the number of vaccinations, then it will be quite difficult and the country will have to impose restrictive measures again, otherwise, the epidemic situation will not stabilize," Gamkrelidze said.
