Georgia has reported a third coronavirus-related death today out of the 195 confirmed cases since February 26.

Head of Tbilisi Infectious Disease Hospital Tengiz Tsertsvadze said a woman, 86, suffered from the most severe form of pneumonia. 

The doctors spared no efforts… I think [they did] much more than a human can do [to save her life], but [her health] conditions were incompatible with life”, Tsertsvadze stated. 

Tsertsvadze said the woman remained in the intensive care unit for more than two weeks and was “the most critical patient” since the coronavirus outbreak in Georgia. 

As of now, 46 individuals have recovered, two elderly women died of the virus during the weekend, while two infected foreign citizens left the country last month.
