The European Scientist has written an article about the most resistant countries to the new coronavirus pandemic, mentioning Georgia as one of them. The article says that the Georgian government is one of the few which “has been able to anticipate the crisis better than others, taking restrictive but necessary measures, which have turned out to be beneficial for their country.”
The success of Georgia in the fight against the COVID-19 has been once again praised by the international media; The Telegraph has published an article about how this small country like many other smaller European nations has managed to have a death rate in the single digits, as the death toll continues to soar in larger European countries.
EURACTIV has published an article written by Vlagyiszlav Makszimov about the success story of Georgia in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Six infected individuals have recovered from COVID-19 in Georgia increasing the total number of recoveries to 184. Meanwhile, Georgian Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze announced earlier today that at least 1,000 individuals will be tested for COVID-19 in Georgia per day.
