👩🏼⚕️ In an article on the WHO website, a 32-year-old Georgian nurse talks about the problems of nursing in the country.
«Every young nurse wants to leave Georgia" - this is how this article begins. Fewer nurses are coming to work: "Very few young people choose nurses as a profession, which means that we have fewer and fewer new employees." Reason: low salary. According to the girl, many of her colleagues work overtime or in several clinics to earn a living. This can negatively affect the quality of medical care provided by nurses.
📊 In Georgia, the ratio of doctors and nurses has not exceeded 0.8 since 2014. This means that there is less than one nurse per doctor, and in the mountainous regions of Georgia the shortage is even more acute.

👨🍳📗 According to the founder of the Georgian Restaurant Association, Shota Burjanadze, the Green Passport system has reduced the number of visitors in establishments, and many of them are on the verge of bankruptcy.
"The Green Passport, which was supposed to have a positive impact on the country, speed up the vaccination process, make changes to the economy and be able to develop for the restaurant sector, turned out to be counterproductive because it was implemented incorrectly."
❗️The Restaurant Association suggests not to cancel the green passports, but that the establishments themselves have the opportunity to choose whether or not to introduce this system.

🎧❓ The work of night clubs in Georgia is questionable.
After a seemingly reached compromise between business owners and the government, the labor Inspectorate issued a statement last night, according to which the activities of nightclubs are outlawed. Despite this, parties from Friday to Saturday were held in all famous places of the capital (Bassiani, Khidi and others). Today, the labor inspectorate and doctors condemned these actions.

❗️We are waiting for this confrontation to be resolved on Monday at the interdepartmental council.

❓🎿🚠 When will the ski season start in Georgia?
More and more often I get such questions in person or see them in chats. Therefore, I asked my friends in the tourism sector and ministries about it. At the moment, the launch date of the cable cars in Gudauri, Bakuriani, Goderzi and Mestia is being discussed from Saturday, December 25th. In most resorts, snow allows you to do this + special snow cannons will be included. Hotels report a large number of bookings for the season.
To enter the cable cars, you will need to present a green passport.
❗️Along with this, Georgian doctors warn about the danger of a new strain of omicron, for example, today a regime of general self-isolation has been introduced in the Netherlands for a month and the work of most business sectors is prohibited. In this regard, the final decision on ski resorts has not yet been made.

🎧 The opening of nightclubs in Georgia has been postponed indefinitely.
Despite the seemingly existing agreement between business and the government, the official decree on the opening of clubs has been postponed. Last night, a three-hour meeting was held between the Labor Inspectorate, representatives of the Ministry of Economy and entrepreneurs. Various work options were discussed:
📍 obtaining "green" licensing
by clubs
📍 occupancy by 30 and 50%
📍 using only European and WHO-recognized certificates.
As a result of the meeting, all parties planned for the weekend and in the coming days were canceled by the clubs. The negotiation process continues.
❗️ Let me remind you that at the moment, nightclubs remain the only type of business in Georgia whose work is officially prohibited. They closed in March 2020, shortly after the first case of coronavirus was recorded in the country.

👩🏼⚕️ Doctors and health experts warn that the new strain of "omicron" in Georgia can become very dangerous and difficult for the country.
I am giving a direct speech.
🗣 Senior Adviser to the Norwegian Ministry of Health Zaza Tsereteli: "It is a pity that there are so few vaccinated people in Georgia, the country meets omicron with bare hands. In Norway, 80% of patients with a new strain need hospitalization"
🗣General Director of the clinic "Chachava" Marina Gelanti: "The new strain is spreading rapidly, there is a high risk of a sharp spread in Georgia and an increase in the number of hospitalizations"
🗣Professor Maya Buleishvili: "It will be difficult to manage the epidemiological situation due to the rapid spread"
🗣Professor, UN expert in the field of health Georgy Pkhakadze: "Omicron is similar in severity to Delta. The number of patients will increase dramatically, multiply the number of cases and deaths by 4 times."
...Some kind of pessimistic picture....
