"There is no decrease yet. On the contrary, there is an increase, which will continue, because we are already entering the peak and we do not know how long it will last," the head of the National Center for Disease Control, Amiran Gamkrelidze, stated.
According to him, following the Institute for Health Measurement and Evaluation forecast, the first week of December will be especially noteworthy when it comes to both increased cases and mortality.
"We do not know how long the peak will last. We are actively collaborating with the Washington University Institute for Health Measurement and Evaluation, which does weekly updates in different regions. Because we are close partners, it also makes predictions for Georgia. According to their calculations, the first week of December will be especially noteworthy in terms of both increase in cases and mortality.
According to their forecast, there will be an increase in casualties in the first week of December. It is stated that if we do not introduce new ones or further tighten the existing restrictions, the peak may last for a long time. Based on these forecasts, Georgia must tighten enforcement and expand selective restrictions as much as possible," Amiran Gamkrelidze said.
