Now she feels much better,” head of Tbilisi Hospital of Infectious Diseases Tenngiz Tsertsvadze has stated.

One individual has been cured with the help of plasma treatment. We are waiting for positive results in terms of the 83-year-old patient as well,” Tsertsvadze stated.

Tsertsvadze says that resuming public transport, with certain restrictions, carries lower risks for the country regarding the coronavirus than the reopening of the tourist season.

He says that the government, ‘which has managed the crisis successfully up to now,’ should think about measures to make the tourism season less dangerous.
