Abstract
The COVID 19 outbreak lead to significant challenges. From efforts to contain the spread of the virus to policy aimed at dampening the economic pain of the virus, policy makers have been presented with numerous decisions. In support of informing these efforts in Georgia, CRRC Georgia conducted six surveys between late April and early June, with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tbilisi. The results were presented on a weekly basis to stakeholders in the Government of Georgia, international organizations, diplomats, and NGOs working on the crisis.
