Amiran Gamkrelidze: 12.7% of infected persons are medical staff, which is an average European figure

According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the Center for Disease Control and Public Health, 12.7% of people infected with coronavirus in the country are medical staff, which is an average European figure.

He urges medical staff to show more caution and follow recommendations.

"We are on the front line. We all need to follow the rules, and my colleagues, including me, have to follow the rules very scrupulously, namely, relating to the use of protective equipment. However, there cannot be 100% guarantee in medicine. In any fight, be it an armed war or a fight against coronavirus, unfortunately, we, the medical staff, are a vulnerable group,” Gamkrelidze said.
