Public Defender’s Statement on Deteriorating Epidemiological Situation and Implementation of Preventive Measures
Tbilisi. The Public Defender is alarmed by the data of the National Center for Disease Control, according to which, the rate of wearing a mask has decreased from 75% to 43% in the country.
In view of all the above, the Public Defender calls on:

To ensure effective and real control over the implementation of the novel coronavirus restrictions across the country;
The population of Georgia:
To fully comply with quarantine and self-isolation requirements and recommendations as the only and most effective way today to protect our own and others’ right to health and life - proper use of masks, including in open spaces, observation of hygiene rules and social distancing;
Media outlets:
To the extent possible, to systematically disseminate information and inform the population about the importance of preventive measures - proper use of a mask and observation of social distancing.
