The State Security Committee of South Ossetia has recordеd grave epidemiological situation in Georgia, which is on the verge of the third wave of COVID-19.
During the last month in the country, the spread of coronavirus has increased in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Guria, Adjara and Shida Kartli. Since the beginning of the pandemic, about 300 thousand cases of infection have been detected, while more than three and a half thousand people have died - this is one of the worst indicators per 100 thousand people, not only in the region, but also in the world as a whole. In addition, the number of infections with a new, so-called "British" strain of coronavirus has increased to 70, " the committee said in a statement on Thursday.
The press service of the Committee has noted that due to the complication of the epidemiological situation in the country, the Georgian health authorities are giving disappointing forecasts and increasingly declare the threat of a new lockdown.
"In particular, experts believe that Georgia is approaching the indicators of November-December last year, when several thousand new cases of the disease were detected a day. At the same time, according to opinion polls, more than 50 percent of local residents do not want to be vaccinated. lack of confidence in the quality of AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines. The economic situation in Georgia is deteriorating every day, oil and food prices are growing exponentially, the national currency is rapidly depreciating, and the unemployment rate has risen to 20.4% and is the highest in the last three years Some Georgian politicians believe that due to the absence of an anti-crisis action plan in the government, there is a great danger of an impending economic collapse and a spontaneous hunger riot, "the report says.
Against this background, according to information received by the KGB, it became known that the Tbilisi regime continues to disseminate information provoking the residents of the Republic of South Ossetia to illegally cross the state border in order to carry out immunization on the territory of Georgia.
"So, at the end of March, Minister of Health of Georgia announced its intention to vaccinate the population of South Ossetia with drugs, the use of which had been suspended in many countries due to the development of accompanying severe complications," the special service notes.
In this regard, the KGB urges residents of the Republic to refrain from visiting Georgia, since this creates a threat of penetration into the territory of South Ossetia of a new, so-called. "British" strain of coronavirus infection, which will significantly complicate the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the Republic. In addition, violations of the established border regimes entail administrative and criminal liability.
