More than 1,207,000 individuals have been tested for coronavirus in Georgia so far.
The family of 19-year-old Tekla Tordia, who has died of coronavirus, claims the death was caused by delayed hospitalisation. Tekla’s mother Irma Tordia told Rustavi 2 TV that her daughter was initially sent to a special Covid-hotel which did not even have medical oxygen, but the family was told that there were no places at hospitals.
Georgia has reported 3,759 new cases of coronavirus, 3,574 recoveries and 36 deaths in the past 24 hours. 20,454 individuals remain infected with Covid-19 in Georgia as of today.

About 90 per cent of increased demand for medical oxygen is covered by local manufacturing, said Georgian Economy Minister Natia Turnava earlier today, noting that the Ministry of Economy is involved in promoting the production of medical oxygen and increasing its stock in the country.
Head of Georgia’s National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Amiran Gamkrelidze says that Georgia is currently experiencing peak coronavirus infections, noting that the duration of the peak depends on many factors, including the observation of recently-imposed government regulations.
Starting today the Georgian government will ensure 20,000 daily coronavirus tests around the country to reveal new infections and curb the spread of the virus in a timely fashion. Large-scale testing will continue until February 1, 2021. Tests conducted by private clinics and labs will be added to the 20,000 tests. Rapid tests will be actively used in the process,” said the government, adding that testing will also ensure proper hospitalisation of critical patients.
Deputy Head of the Task Force under the Interagency Coordination Council Berdia Sichinava announced earlier today that the group is responsible for ensuring the timely import of the vaccines and to supervise infrastructural and logistics processes.
