show that fear of infection, social isolation, and other pandemic-related problems create a highly stressful environment for the vast majority of the population. Consequently, symptoms of anxiety disorder and depression appear in a large part of the population.509 Particular attention should be paid to quarantine spaces where most individuals are placed in solitary. The monitoring revealed that the persons placed in the quarantine area were not offered any activities during the day, did not have the opportunity to leave the room and in some cases did not even have a balcony. Such a condition, along with the general anxiety associated with the pandemic, caused stress in persons placed in quarantine spaces and thus, it was extremely important for them to have access to appropriate psychological assistance. Unfortunately, during the interview, only one respondent mentioned that they were provided with the written information about the possibility of using the psychological assistance service. According to other respondents, they were not provided with information about the psychological assistance service when they were placed in the quarantine area. The Public Defender considers it important to provide the person placed in the quarantine area with information about the available psychological assistance services so that the person can use this service if necessary. During the interviews with the respondents, it became clear that if they were informed about the existence of such a service, they would definitely use this service. The study identified two notable cases of child rights. In both cases there is a clear indication of the damage that can be inflicted to the child by placing him or her in a quarantine area and by neglecting their special needs. In one case, a woman was placed in a quarantine area in one room with two children, one of whom was constantly irritated, afraid of being in an unknown place, and cried constantly, causing additional stress to the other child. In the second case, the woman was placed in a quarantine area in one room with two children and another family member. One child had an autistic spectrum disorder, which made it difficult to be indoors, was often noisy, and caused another child to have a trouble with sleeping. In the first case, a family member was brought into the quarantine area to assist the mother, and in the second case, after the Public Defender's representative provided the information to the National Tourism Administration, the hotel provided the family with an additional room. Both families were refused to move to self-isolation, which, if satisfied, would have a positive impact on the condition of the children. The Public Defender believes that timely and adequate psycho-social services should be provided for parents placed in the quarantine area and their accompanying children with autism spectrum disorders, other behavioral disorders and certain psychological problems. Proposal to the Parliament of Georgia  509 By amending the Law of Georgia on Public Health, ensure the introduction of a mechanism for prompt and effective appeal of a decision on the use of a quarantine measure to a higher decision-making body or directly to the court by proposing an alternative appeal mechanism.
