Amiran Gamkrelidze: It is possible that with up to 60,000 daily cases we will enter the peak

According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, the head of the National Center for Disease Control, the Institute of Measurement and Control, on which the center relies, may reach its peak in the first decade of February.

According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, the peak is expected to be up to 60 thousand daily cases, of which about 20-30% will be detected in the laboratory.

"Calls to the hotline have increased. This is to be expected since most of these cases (of Omicron) go relatively smoothly rather than Delta. According to the latest data, we may enter the peak somewhere in the first decade of February, and there may be up to 60,000 cases per day, of which about 20-30% will be detected in the laboratory, or we may have 10-15,000 daily cases," Gamkrelidze said.
