"What is easier than locking down??! They can't beat us in this either"

What is easier than a lockdown?! They can not beat us in this, we have experience in this - the Prime Minister, Irakli Gharibashvili, while presenting the mayoral candidate in Mestia, spoke about the epidemic situation in the country and said that strict lockdowns are not in his plans.

With the pandemic claiming the lives of up to 60 people every day, Prime Minister Gharibashvili said the lockdowns were "an idea against the people".

"How can we consider tough lockdowns? People who were campaigning aggressively six months ago to open up the economy are coming out today to lock up the economy. What's easier than locking down? In 24 hours, we blocked everything across the country. At night all the checkpoints were set up and together with the police and the SSG, we were completely coordinating the process. What is easier than that ?! What about closing restaurants and hotels, or other businesses, but is that the solution ?! Of course not, this is a harmful, anti-people idea and so-called proposal. Instead, we need a balanced approach. It needs active vaccination, "said Irakli Gharibashvili.
