Curfew in Batumi: 9:18 PM

Because of coronavirus pandemic, there is curfew in effect in Georgia. People are not allowed to go outside after 9 PM till 6 AM. Hefty fines of 3,000 GEL ($950) make sure that locals stay home.

Only on 4th April 2020, 421 facts of violation of curfew were registered, and according to minimal estimates, the amount of fines is 1,263,000 ₾ ($399,683 USD).

That’s a lot of money for Georgians, considering the fact that the minimum monthly wage is only $400.

No wonder, this Batumi resident is running away from police, after only 18 minutes past the curfew.
