"It is important to find a golden middle and not have a permanent lockdown, which may not be a solution," said the Minister of Health Ekaterine Tikaradze in the Parliament, where the deputies are listening to Tikaradze in the format of "Minister Hour".
The minister said no country in the world could find a golden middle on how to maintain the economy and at the same time protect the health of its citizens, which is why most of the countries have declared lockdowns and have been maintaining it for months.
"Although we have provided a lot of help to the citizens, we think it is important to find a golden middle and not have a permanent lockdown, which may not be the solution. As we observe the practice of this example in many countries - they have a "lockdown", but the spread of infection the rate is high.
Of course, we do not want lockdown to be declared, so it is important that the private sector and citizens are actively involved in enforcing the recommendations," the health minister said, urging citizens to follow through.
