Kelly Degnan - Georgia is coping well with COVID-19, the country is exemplary in the region

“Georgia is coping well with the global crisis regarding the novel Coronavirus, the country is exemplary in the region,” the U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan said at a meeting with Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze.

The Minister briefed the diplomat on the measures taken to prevent coronavirus. Kelly Degnan was informed about the developments happening now in Georgia.

“I’ve been very impressed with Georgia’s proactive response to the outbreak. In fact, when I came through the airport on Saturday, on my way back from Washington, I came through several airports, but it wasn’t until I reached Tbilisi that I saw all the airport personnel were fully equipped with protective clothing. They were taking the temperatures of passengers as they came in, they had a very organized and thorough procedure to screen people as they were coming in. So even on Saturday, Georgia was leaning forward to contain this outbreak,” Kelly Degnan stressed.
