🦠 Coronavirus statistics in Georgia: summary results 2020-2022.
Regular readers of the blog know that every morning there was information about the number of new cases, the number of recovered, deceased and vaccinations. Today I'm closing this column.
ℹ️ Exactly two years ago, the first case of covid-19 was diagnosed in Georgia. Over the past time, we have experienced several months of curfews, total bans and fines, closure of businesses and projects, illness and death of people close to us.
Now, the situation has stabilized. And although the number of new daily cases is still several thousand, we have learned to live with the virus. And it, too, began to be transferred much easier. This is still a serious illness and I urge you not to forget about it, monitor your health and take care of yourself.
❗️ And, of course, NO WAR!

🇬🇪 The main news about Georgia for 26.02.
I coordinate several important projects, I was a little late with the release of information, but I do a summary about the country in a day:
📍 another rally against the war and in support of Ukraine was held in Tbilisi, fewer people gathered than yesterday, but still a lot
📍 a concert by Nino Katamadze took place on Freedom Square
📍 Prime Minister Garibashvili has signed a decree on the purchase of 300 thousand$ of pharmaceuticals for Ukraine
📍 the country has developed and began to work with several projects aimed at helping the Ukrainians
📍 on the streets of the Georgian cities there are many Ukrainian flags, promotional banners, Windows, cafes and homes appeared the innoscription "Glory to Ukraine"
📍 cases of Russophobia: the messages appear, that apartment owners are reluctant to rent housing to Russians and the country increasingly visible the innoscription "Fuck Russia" and "Russia is occupant", locals ask visitors (even children) what nationality they are.
💡I ask everyone to show restraint and not divide people by nationality

🇺🇦 About 2,000 volunteers are going to fly from Georgia to Ukraine.
This was told to me by friends from the anti-occupation movement. This is due to the fact that the President of Ukraine Zelensky announced the creation of the "international legion of Territorial Defense Forces".
Zelensky offers foreigners who "want to participate in resisting the occupiers and protecting world security" to come and "join the ranks of the Territorial Defense Forces."
📍Those wishing to join are recommended to contact the embassies of Ukraine in their countries.

🇺🇦 The owner of Borjomi, Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman, opposed the war in Ukraine.
«I was born and raised in the west of Ukraine. My parents still live in Lviv, my favorite city. I consider the current conflict a tragedy for both sides. I am a businessman who is responsible for thousands of my employees in Russia and Ukraine. They've been brothers for hundreds of years. I join those whose ardent desire is to put an end to the bloodshed"

📵 In Georgia, it was proposed to remove Russian channels from Internet broadcasting.
«Friends, when the government capitulates like this, take care of state affairs, close Russian propaganda channels from your resources or set a high commercial price for them. Those who want to listen to occupation propaganda in Georgia must pay," said Mamuka Khazaradze, chairman of the Lelo for Georgia party and founder of the TBS Bank.

🌾 Georgia's wheat reserves may last for two months.
Prices for various types of commodities are going up as new Western sanctions against Russia increase the likelihood of supply disruptions:
This will affect Georgia.
❗️For example, wheat has risen in price to almost the highest level in more than 13 years. Russia accounts for 70% of the import of this grain into the country

💳 Russians began to be refused to open accounts in the Georgian TBC bank.
More than 10 people wrote to me about this, who applied to the departments today. Because of the sanctions, Russians who are in Georgia are doing this en masse now. The bank's employees refer to an internal order and ask for additional documents (a housing lease agreement, an employment contract). There have been no official bans yet. Current accounts are serviced as usual.
❗️There are no such problems in the Bank of Georgia so far. A foreigner can open an account by presenting only a passport.

⚡️The Government of Georgia is consulting with partners on the possible closure of airspace for the Russian Federation.
Let me remind you that direct flights between the countries have been closed since July 2019 on the initiative of Russia due to anti-Putin protests in Tbilisi.

⚡️Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani supported the Prime Minister in his decision not to join economic sanctions against Russia.
He explained this by the weakness of Georgia's economy, its dependence on Russian energy resources and territorial proximity.
«We have confirmed Georgia's vulnerability to Russian aggression with our lives. Shouldn't a responsible government be careful in this process? They do not need additional mobilization, which was carried out in connection with Ukraine. They are here, the result of their occupation is visible from the highway, it will take a few minutes to turn the whole of Georgia upside down. Do you think we have no information about what they are going to do and how? Borrel's statement was made yesterday, perhaps it will be the next Georgia. I don't want to see Russian tanks in the direction of Tbilisi, I don't want to see the bombing of the capital and airports. I'm not intimidating anyone, but this is the worst situation," Zalkaliani said.
