❗️Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili made his first public appearance after his arrest.
The politician was personally brought to court, where the case of the dispersal of the 2007 rally, in which he is being held as an accused, is being heard. Saakashvili delivered a big speech today in three languages (Georgian, Ukrainian, English), in which he blamed the current government for many of the country's problems, but most often, in increasing the influence of Putin's Russia on Georgia.
❗️After his speech, Saakashvili left the meeting room on the recommendation of doctors.

🚌📗 Restrictions on the use of public transport for those who are not vaccinated and those who have not been ill with covid-19 may be introduced in Georgia.
This was told by a member of the medical council Bidzina Kulumbegov. The issue of introducing restrictions on the use of public transport for citizens who do not have a green vaccination passport is being discussed by the government, which means there is a high probability that they will be accepted. But this will not happen immediately, as it requires retrofitting the transport infrastructure with control systems and studying the first stage of the introduction of green passports from December 1.
"As I know, it is planned, but it will not happen quickly," Kulumbegov said.
❗️These words are confirmed by the head of the Center for Disease Control Amiran Gamkrelidze:
"First of all, let's see how the green passport initiative will work in the country. In accordance with this, we can think about expanding the sectors."
Against this background, a rally against the introduction of covid passports and compulsory vaccination with about 2,000 participants took place in Tbilisi yesterday.
📍Let me remind you that from 01.12.2021, entrance to many public places in Georgia will be carried out only upon presentation of a covid passport.

❗️📗❗️ From December 1, 2021, a "green passport" will be introduced in Georgia - a document according to which you can visit public places.
It is necessary for all adults in order to visit: food outlets, cinemas, theaters and museums, fitness and spa centers, hotels, entertainment centers, cable cars. In other places (including shopping malls and public transport), the document is not needed yet.
Where and how to get a green passport?
Go to the website https://covidpass.moh.gov.ge, enter your details. The system will highlight the name in green and issue a QR code to show in the places of the requirement. If the color of the code document is red or there is an error in the name/surname or documents, then contact the following institutions:
144 - unified hotline
1505 - hotline of the Ministry
of Health
1522 - vaccination hotline
116001 - NCDC
0800800909 - hotline of the National Tourism Administration of Georgia.
If you have entered with a Russian "SPUTNIK" and you are given a red color code, then e-mail can help: appsupport@ita.gov.ge or the above phones.
❗️You can get a green passport for international travel by downloading an Android or iOS app.
When is a person given a "green status"?
📍 after vaccination with the second dose of the vaccine;
📍 upon receipt of a negative result of a PCR test (for 72 hours) and an antigen test (for 24 hours) after the laboratory uploads the data to the appropriate system;
📍 14 days after the official confirmation of the covid by a PCR test and contacting the Ministry of Health. (the antibody test has no legal force and does not give the right to a document in this case).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
At the moment, many food outlets, hotels and other projects where the green passport is being implemented have not received clear instructions on its use and verification. We will look at the use of green passports in practice in the coming days, and I will definitely summarize it. At your request, I continue to call the Ministry of Health and NCDC to write a clearer algorithm for obtaining documents without any issues.
