Tengiz Tsertsvadze, Director of Tbilisi Hospital of Infectious Diseases says the number of people infected with the novel coronavirus is growing rapidly worldwide and an increase in numbers is expected in Georgia as well.

Tsertsvadze noted that Georgia is part of the international community and follows democratic principles.

“We are acting in strict accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, as it is appropriate for European countries. The number of the infected people is expected to increase, but the task is the number not to exceed the critical limit,” Tsertsvadze said.

Director of Tbilisi Hospital of Infectious Diseases expects the first patients infected with the coronavirus will recover within a week.

The 13th case of novel coronavirus has been confirmed in Georgia on Saturday.
