Health Minister: Our goal of delaying the peak period and preventing the geometric progression of the virus has been achieved

"Our goal of delaying the peak period and preventing the geometric progression of the virus has been achieved," Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze told reporters at the governmental administration.

As she pointed out, the prevalence of infection has been reduced from 1.92 to 1.16.

"A week has passed so far, so it is too early to talk about the expected results. We’ve always said that a period of at least 2 weeks is important for us to do some analysis. Therefore, we will only be able to make certain forecasts early next week. As for mitigation of regulations, you know that easing regulations not only in Georgia but all over the world is directly proportional to the increase in infection. Our goal of delaying the peak period and preventing the geometric progression of the virus has been achieved. We can prove this by the infection rate, which was 1.92 and today we have 1.16. This is a significant result, however, it is not enough for us to talk about positive solutions," Tikaradze said.
