PM: Ministry of Health has been instructed to prepare 3,000 beds in the coming days

According to Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia, the Ministry of Health has already been instructed to prepare 3,000 beds in the coming days, so that to ensure that if the number of infected patients increases, they are effectively treated.

At the same time, the head of the government noted that despite the increased number of cases, there is no reason to panic, since the government, epidemiologists and clinical group are in full control of the situation.

"Unfortunately, the number of infected people is increasing globally. The number of infected people is growing significantly in Georgia too and we all understand that any step taken today will have both strong critics and supporters, but we must do our best in the interests of our citizens. That is why this morning we had a meeting of the Coordination Council and then we had a meeting with the clinical group and we did some analysis of the processes that are going on globally and in Georgia.

There is no reason to panic with regard to the increase in the number of infected people in Georgia today, because the epidemiologists and the clinical team, as well as the government, are fully controlling the risks of pandemic, but this does not mean that we should not take extra measures or tighten the enforcement of the existing measures. The most important thing is discipline in enforcing the rules that we have all adopted together. We have always said and will repeat today that no country, including Georgia, cannot cope with the pandemic alone," Gakharia said.

According to the PM, 10 thousand PCR tests will be performed in the country soon and if the need arises, this number will increase even more.
