“What the UK can learn from smaller countries on how to avoid total lockdown”, – this is a title of an article published by Telegraph.

As it is noted in the publication, Georgia stands out among the European crowd as a country that has coped unexpectedly well with the global pandemic.

“The Global Health Security Index, which measures a country’s ability to cope with disease did not look particularly favourably on Georgia before the coronavirus outbreak. Ranking the country in the Caucasus 42nd in the league of preparedness last year, the former Soviet nation appeared a minnow compared to higher ranked Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. Yet as Covid-19 last week crossed the world landmark of infecting one million people – Georgia stands out among the European crowd as a country that has coped unexpectedly well with the global pandemic” – the article reads.

Telegraph stresses that based on April 4 data, Georgia has reported just one death from coronavirus, and all reported cases have been imported or are directly related to imported cases.
