"We were in the orange zone; now we have moved to the red zone. This situation must cause concerns, and appropriate measures should be taken," the director of the National Center for Disease Control, Amiran Gamkrelidze, stated about it after the end of the Coordination Council.
He said that all indicators of epidemic development in the country have deteriorated, which will tighten control over the implementation of regulations. Changes are also planned regarding the rules of the mask.
"The epidemic situation has deteriorated. These issues were discussed at the Coordinating Council today.
We are now at the level we were at the peak of the third wave on May 17th, and also today's epidemic situation is similar to what we had in late October, early November.
There was a discussion on the board, and there will be a number of tightening restrictions. First of all, in terms of enforcement.
Masks are no longer worn indoors. Therefore, there will be certain changes regarding them in the open spaces," Gamkrelidze said.
