Amiran Gamkrelidze: The political process is important, but we should be more cautious so as not to spread the infection

The political process is very important, no one can restrict the freedom of expression, but we should be more cautious so that we do not spread the infection to each other, - Amiran Gamkrelidze, the head of the National Center for Disease Control said at a briefing today.

In this context, he stressed that one of the five preventive measures is to avoid large gatherings.

"Any gathering, whether it's a wedding, other type of ritual gathering, or a rally, is an increased risk of spreading the infection. There is no absolute protection against the virus. When we talk about protection with a face mask, we never mean 100% protection. None of the tests is a 100% test - nothing in medicine is 100%", - said Amiran Gamkrelidze.
