👨⚕Bidzina Kulumbegov, a well-known Georgian immunologist and a member of the vaccination council, called on the authorities to urgently introduce restrictions in the country.
“Medical personnel must be vaccinated; KN95 masks for people at risk of disease must be provided; there should be a ban on movement at night; restaurants must work only outdoors; meetings should be limited to no more than 5 people; mass testing and vaccination centers should work more effectively. The restrictions should come into effect as soon as possible, otherwise, unfortunately, it will be too late !!! "
The medic especially noted that "fake vaccination records" appeared in Georgia, which people do not attend (3000 cases in the last 24 hours), and assessed it as a provocation.
