Shopping malls will be opened in compliance with the regulations from February 1, employees will be tested for coronavirus.

According to Levan Karalashvili, Director of Tbilisi Central, how  the testing of the shopping facilities staff  will work is not  specified yet.

"We talked about the additional regulations after the opening of shops, including the introduction of testing for employees of shopping facilities. The government does not see a problem with opening malls from the first of February, considering the successful work performed from December 24 to January 2, when shops coped well with that short opening. Nothing new has been discussed at the meeting at the governmental administration other than testing”, Levan Karalashvili says.

In Karalashvili’s words, February 1 is the exact date of opening of malls, although public transport is unlikely to open yet.
