Dear Dr. Gvantsa,

We understand there may have been a misunderstanding as to whether a home inspection of a U.S. diplomatic residence could take place.

However, our request is that the exception for no inspections of diplomatic residences remain.  Please note that we are passing this request on behalf of our Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Catherine Schweitzer.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards, Anne

U.S. Embassy Tbilisi

Dear Juan,

I am writing on behalf of Dr. Amiran. He is aware of your request. 

There was communication with the MOH/ healthcare department- particularly, with Dr. Gvantsa Gasviani. She confirmed that they impose exceptions on diplomatic services / missions, including the US Embassy.

Just for keeping the set regulations, please provide the full list of upcoming travellers (passport data) to Dr. Gasviani. Herein, I am copying her and Ms. Nikoleishvili ( MOH / International Affairs Division) and their contact info:

Gvantsa Gasviani 557 119 100
Maia Nikoleishvili 577 272 713

Dr. Gasviani will kindly recommend you on details if it might need something additional.

If you feel us to help you in anyway, please let us know.

Have a nice Saturday! 

Best,

Elene

Good morning Dr. Amiran,

I hope you are doing well and my sincere apologies for messaging on a Saturday morning!

As you know, we have diplomatic personnel entering the country, and we have been so grateful for the NCDC and wider Georgian government’s assistance in allowing their entry.  We are committed to ensuring that all quarantine requirements are met and our Medical Unit has taken full responsibility for monitoring our staff during their quarantine period.  

We have a some personnel entering Georgia soon - including one likely within the next few days - and we received a message that MOH/NCDC would have to inspect their diplomatic residence beforehand.  

We respectfully request that NCDC waive the requirement to inspect our residences, as this has not been necessary in the past and we remain committed to upholding all quarantine requirements.  Thank you for your consideration and please do let us know if you have any questions, sir. 

Best,
Juan Aparicio
