As countries around the world struggle to manage the pandemic, Georgia has become an unlikely success story – Eurasianet published an article about how Georgian people publicly applauded in gratitude of doctors and government in their efforts to curb the spread of novel coronavirus in Georgia.

“Along with coronavirus, Georgia has had an outbreak of something the country hasn’t had in years: public confidence in the government.

Nearly a month after COVID-19 first arrived in Georgia, the number of confirmed cases had reached only 44 by March 20, with no fatalities.

To many observers, even long-time critics, this is evidence that the government is doing something right: stepping back and letting the health professionals take control,” reads the article.
