This Resolution provides for isolation and quarantine rules during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Specifically, it states that its purpose is to determine isolation and quarantine rules provided for by the Law of Georgia on Public Health for the prevention of the mass spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and to determine appropriate measures to minimise the possible threat to the life and health of the country's population and to manage the epidemiological situation. The Resolution provides that international air, land and maritime movement shall be suspended. The provision of food and personal care items/clothes and, as needed, medicines, through indirect contact to persons placed in isolation shall be permitted. The Resolution also closes the village of Mushevani of Bolnisi Municipality banning all types of travel. Allowable activities in the village include the retail sale of food and feed, animals, animal and plant products, household cleaning and hygiene products, veterinary drugs, pesticides and agrochemicals, and seed and planting materials; the performance of agricultural activities and activities related to animal husbandry and poultry; and the supply of power utilities, electricity, natural gas, water, petrol, diesel, liquefied gas. For the purpose of ensuring the uninterrupted payment of state cash payments (state pensions, compensation, social packages, etc.) at the transitional stage, the Social Service Agency of Georgia shall not suspend the payment of state cash payments even where there are grounds for suspending such payments as provided for by the legislation. Moreover, the amounts of state cash payments paid within this period shall not be considered as paid in excess and shall not be subject to refund. A body administering appropriate state cash payments shall be released from the obligation to administer cash payments where said administration may result in the suspension of a cash payment.
