If the coronavirus positivity rate exceeds 4%, we will think on lockdown and tightening of COVID-restrictions, - Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze told public broadcaster 1TV.GE.

We are currently observing epidemiological conditions. Our current approach is to strengthen the monitoring of the existed COVID-regulations. Our goal is not to stop the business, as we see the downside risks”, - Ekaterine Tikaradze declared.
