Georgian Deputy Health Minister Tamar Gabunia says that if the public will not observe coronavirus recommendations and rules the government will have to reimpose restrictions. She stated that coronavirus cases are surging in Georgia and that the country ‘is technically ready’ for a third wave of coronavirus. However, Gabunia said that ‘doctors are very much stressed and tired’ and it will be ‘hard for them’ to serve thousands of Covid-19 patients on a daily basis.
Georgian health officials have warned of a potential third wave of coronavirus in the country if individuals refuse to receive the vaccine and act in line with recommendations.
Georgia has reported a total of 506 new cases of Covid-19 after conducting 25,752 (including 9,982 PCR and 15,769 rapid) tests over the last 24 hours. Out of the 506 new cases 240 were reported in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
