Abstract

This commentary presents an analysis of the containment and mitigation efforts by different countries against the recent COVID-19 pandemic. It was developed in response to the Georgia government's decision to relieve lock down restrictions. The article also provides recommendations based on interventions that have been observed to be effective, which will guide decision making for not only Georgia but other states and countries that are currently struggling to manage this outbreak.
