Levan Kokiashvili, director of the Georgian Gastronomy Association declares, that the sector sees the danger that they will close again after the elections.
As Kokiashvili notes, the country is already in the 5th wave of the pandemic, so he urges everyone to impose regulations because the private sector cannot solve the problem alone.
“There should be one rule, people should enter food facilities on the base of a COVID-passport or PCR test. The whole world has come up with such a solution and we should accept it too. We must have a plan, which determines what will be closed first when the positivity rate increases. The state must manage it. It is very important for food establishments to feel stable. We are in an uncertain situation and we have become a safe haven for pensioners. Nobody wants to come to our country and if this continues, I do not know what the outcome will be," Kokiashvili said.
