He stated that Covid-19 has become the number one cause of death both in Georgia and worldwide.
It (coronavirus) surpassed the first cause of death (in Georgia) cardiovascular disease and the second one - cancer...out of every thousand infected, unfortunately, 10-15-20 people die,” Gamkrelidze stated.
Gamkrelidze also stated that the chances of virus transmission among fully vaccinated people are quite low, noting that few fully vaccinated individuals have required hospitalisation so far.

Director of Tbilisi Infectious Disease Hospital Marina Ezugbaia stated that the current coronavirus mortality rate in Georgia is the result of an increased number of coronavirus daily cases and not the incorrect treatment of patients.
