The Geo database was reverted to its October 29th 2019 version, which is the last known good version.

**Note** : Starting from R80.20, it is recommended to use the Access Control Policy to enforce a Geo Policy using Updatable Objects (for more information, see [sk126172](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk126172).) The Updatable Objects are not impacted by this issue, and their database is updated daily.
