Levan Gopodze, Director of the Republican Hospital, says the testing of journalists as one of the target groups will start at the hospital from today.

According to him, rapid tests will be used on journalists first and then, if necessary, they will be tested using PCR tests.

"There will be a lot of target groups, first of all journalists are included in the target group. Today we are starting to test journalists, at the first stage we will use rapid tests and if necessary we will test them using PCR tests, too. Such groups will be identified and targeted groups will be tested. Among them, the testing of the elderly in nursing homes will start from today, which is a very good and important decision. By covering these target groups, we can significantly reduce the risks of spreading the infection, ”said Levan Gopodze.
