Tests carried out - 47328.
The incidence rate is 9.53% (+2.65%)
+4509 infected
+4042 recovered
+59 died
+12194 vaccinated
❗️ According to experts, the epidemiological situation in Georgia remains difficult, which is explained by the low level of vaccination (35.5% of the population) and ignoring medical recommendations (for example, the level of wearing a mask has decreased to 40%).
💉 Booster (third) dose of vaccination in Georgia is allowed for different vaccines 3 and 5 months after the first vaccination.
📍PfaizerBioNTech booster should be administered at least 5 months after the start of the initial vaccination period, counting from the date of the second dose.

🎰🚫 The law on online casinos has been submitted to the Parliament of Georgia.
More precisely, about the restriction of their activities on the territory of the country.
According to the government, citizens annually lose 1.5 billion lari (about $ 500 million) on the Internet, while more than 95% of the players are "poor and unemployed people."
Almost a million citizens of Georgia will lose access to the casino — this is more than a quarter of the country's population.
Let me remind you what is included in the bill:
📍 Tax increase for gambling companies by 65-70%
📍Ban on casino advertising: on television, on the streets and local websites
📍 Increasing the age from which you can participate in gambling to 25 years old
📍Socially unprotected citizens and civil servants are prohibited from playing
📈 The National Bank of Georgia increased the refinancing rate by 0.5% (from 10 to 10.5%).
The refinancing rate is the amount of interest on an annual basis that credit institutions pay to the National Bank for loans provided to them.
Despite the fact that the exchange rate is relatively strengthened at the annual level, according to November data, the annual rate of imported inflation was 18%.
❗️Inflation growth remains one of the main problems for Georgia.
👨🏼‍⚕️ The end of December and January may be the hardest months for Georgia during the covid pandemic.
This was stated at the briefing by the head of the national technical group on immunization Ivane Chkhaidze:
"We expect an intensification of the flu disease, as well as the fact that a new coronavirus mutation is likely to be observed in the country, which in itself will further complicate the situation. The new strain "omicron" should be considered as a serious threat. A few days ago it was recorded in six countries, and today it is already in 52"
❗️According to the doctor, masks have almost stopped being worn in Georgia (the level of wearing is only 22%) and low vaccination (36% of the adult population).
Due to the pandemic, it is expected to extend the validity of green passports and other restrictive decisions of the government.
🦠 09.12. Coronavirus statistics in Georgia per day:
Tests carried out - 54470.
The incidence rate is 7.07% (-0.51%)
+3562 infected
+4145 recovered
+63 died
+10660 vaccinated
❗️There are signs of stabilization of the epidemiological situation in Georgia, but doctors predict a difficult end of December and January.
📗 To confirm the green status, visit public places and institutions in Georgia, it will be enough for foreign citizens to provide the relevant documents (about vaccines) issued in their country.
A corresponding change has already been made to the decree of the Government of Georgia.
Therefore, a foreign citizen who is not registered on www.covidpass.moh.gov.ge or CovidPass Georgia and does not have an EU COVID digital certificate, can be admitted to the institution on the basis of a document issued by the country of granting the status.
❗️However, let me remind you where and how to get a green passport in Georgia:

👅 My personal experience of learning the Georgian language: difficulties and tough things.
მე საქართველოში ვარ. (me sakartveloshi var ) = I'm in Georgia.
I will be living in Tbilisi for almost three years soon, but I have little knowledge of the local language: I know the alphabet and numbers, I can explain myself at the market, in a restaurant, show the way and a few hundred everyday words. I read, but because of the small vocabulary, the meaning of many words is unclear. However, there are many names: computer, printer, city names that are written and read the same way. I can say a lot myself, but I don't understand by ear what they say in response. Of the expats who have lived in the country for more than 2-3 years, only 1 in 10 knows the Georgian language well.

❗️ For those coming to Georgia, the difficulties of learning the language are associated with several factors:
✔️ the circle of communication will often consist of people speaking their own language
Georgian is used in few places in the world, so people don't spend energy to study, unless you are planning to live a long time in the country
✔️ no concept of "he, she, it": it such words are replaced by the word "is"
✔️ there are only 5 vowels (ა — a, ე — e, ი — i, ო — o, უ -u)
✔️ in the Georgian language there are two letters T, K, and P, which are pronounced differently
✔️ complex verbs and conjugation is tough
✔️ language is very quick and emotional, with a lot of guttural and raucous sounds
✔️ stress not expressed, the words are spoken in a singsong voice
✔️ a lot of hardly-reproducible words (gvprtskvnis - გვფრცქვნის)
🦠 10.10. Coronavirus statistics in Georgia per day:
Tests carried out - 50623.

🤖🧬 Subcutaneous chips will be available in Georgia from March 2022.
Sales will start in the spring of 2022 in local iPlus electronic equipment stores, as the company itself said.
