“High sense of responsibility from our citizens, swift government action and int’l support from our partners have been invaluable in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic,” Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia wrote on Tweeter today.

Georgian PM echoed The Washington Post’s article about smaller nations’ ability to handle COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the article, “Georgia has emerged as an island of calm. The country of some 3.75 million people has kept confirmed cases below 700, with 12 deaths, earning the World Health Organization’s praise.”

“Prompt government action, such as required temperature screenings at airports in late January and early restrictions on international travel, appear to have helped beat back the outbreak. With the pace of infections slowing and the country set to reopen for tourism, its ambassador to the United States, David Bakradze, said his office has been fielding travel and business requests from curious Americans,” WP noted.
