Abkhazia cuts off all contact with Georgia

messenger vk-black email copy print

Acting President Valery Bganba gave the order to close the border.

Bganba has already ordered the government to stop issuing passes from Abkhazia to Georgia until April 7 due to the fact that several people have been diagnosed with coronavirus in Georgia.

Chief sanitation officer Lyudmila Skorik says that Enguri Dam workers are allowed to cross the border, as long as they have no contact with Georgian citizens. Those who must undergo medical treatment are also able to cross the border, but will only be able to return to Abkhazia once the restrictions have been lifted.

There are no reported cases of coronavirus in Abkhazia.

With so much misinformation cavalierly and cynically tossed around, it is vitally important that the societies in the Caucasus benefit from journalism that is fact-checked and unbiased, balanced and sensitive. JAMnews has been giving them just that. A full-fledged newsroom presence in almost every part of the region – committed teams of editors and reporters, SMM managers and translators, experts and citizen contributors – has allowed it to always stay on top of national breaking news stories, while also keeping an eye on the not so obvious, but none the less important, issues and trends that are overlooked by others. Now, we all need your support if we are to keep the ball of what we do rolling. Every contribution you make, however small, means we can continue. Thank you
