Davit Gadelia, the Director-General of Vakhtang Bochorishvili clinic, says that the enforcement of restrictions to reduce the spread of the coronavirus is mandatory.
Mr. Gadelia advises citizens to follow recommendations.
"Doctors' advice are important to follow. I do not especially like the word 'lockdown,' but if this word implies ceasing the functioning of restaurants, markets, etc., they really must stop functioning. You must avoid even your family members, for the most serious outbreaks are inside. If you fail to do so, no resources in the world will prove enough," Gadelia said in his televised interview with Rustavi 2.
Georgia recorded 3,128 cases in the past 24 hours to bring the total tally to 111,818. A total of 3,045 patients have recovered, with their number increasing to 92,215.
The country has registered 1,051 deaths (39 recent).
