Amiran Gamkrelidze : Coronavirus is like a meteorite for the world, we’ll have to coexist with it

The coronavirus is like a meteorite for the world, we have to understand that we will have to learn coexisting with it, Amiran Gamkrelidze, Director of the National Center for Disease Control, said at a briefing on Tuesday evening.

Gamkrelidze once again called on the public to keep social distancing and underlines that this is the most powerful weapon against the virus.

“The social distancing is the most powerful weapon against the virus. We have not developed anything better yet. Trust me, the coronavirus shook the world. Corona is like a meteor for the world, a huge shift has been made not only in medicine, but in the state as a whole, in human relationships, in education, in culture, in ideology. We have to understand that we will have to live with the coronavirus and we have to learn that. If the vaccine is developed rapidly, then it will be somehow controlled,” Gamkrelidze said.
