💉Vaccination in Georgia.
Update of the situation related to vaccinations from covid-19.
In March, since Pfizer's expiration date was coming to an end in the country, it was done to everyone in a row, without checking the terms of stay and without requiring an employment contract.

💻 The Central Bank of Georgia is preparing legislation to regulate the crypto market.
The manager of the NSA of Georgia Gvenetadze said that "the size of the Georgian crypto market is unknown due to the lack of regulation." However, Moneyval (the body for monitoring money laundering of the Council of Europe) estimates that the monthly volume of transactions ranged from 3.5 to 5 million Georgian GEL, or from 1.09 to 1.64 million US dollars, monthly. Moneyval urged the Georgian authorities to "strengthen the practical application of their measures to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism."
❗️Cryptomining has long existed and legalized in Georgia. The country accounts for almost 1% of the total Bitcoin hashrate - an exceptional figure for a country with a population of 3.5 million people.

👮🏻‍♂️ The Tbilisi City Court is passing sentences this week to those guilty of riots and hooliganism on July 5, 2021.
Let me remind you that several organizations planned to hold an action "Tbilisi Pride" in the center of the capital in support of LGBT communities, but they were met with indignation in Georgian society. Several thousand residents of traditional views took to the streets in order to prevent the march. It was canceled, and journalists got caught in the hot hand. 53 of them were injured, one died.
❗️Now, 9 months after the above events, the court has passed sentences:
04.04. Six people were sentenced to prison: three to 1 year and 6 months of the colony, two to 1 year and 2 months.

🦠 07.04.- over the past 24 hours in Georgia, no patient died of covid-19.

📊 In March 2022, 211,484 foreign visitors visited Georgia.
This is +266.3% more compared to the same period last year, but only 34.1% compared to the pre-pandemic 2019. In the coming months, you should not expect a sharp increase in tourists in the country, as this is influenced by the factor of the war between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine (they are in the top 5 in terms of attendance in Georgia).
The direction from which entry will definitely increase is the Arab countries, for which Georgia remains an inexpensive and interesting destination. Let me remind you that from the Persian Gulf countries, even in the last, closed year, at the peak, the number of flights was increased to 50 per week.
