Tengiz Tsertsvadze: Complete or partial lifting of restrictions on December 24 will increase the risk of coronavirus infection again

According to the General Director of the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Tengiz Tsertsvadze, the complete or partial lifting of the restrictions on December 24 will, to some extent, increase the risk of coronavirus infection.

According to Tsertsvadze, he supports the partial easing of restrictions, but believes that the control over the implementation of the remaining restrictions should be tightened.

"It is clear that the complete or partial lifting of the restrictions on December 24 will increase the risk to some extent again. The government has to choose between bad and worse, it is difficult to choose. Personally, my opinion as an expert is this - in view of everything, I would at least ease these restrictions in part, but at the same time, I would tighten control over the implementation of the remaining restrictions. Restrictions had effect and infection transmission was reduced, but do not deceive yourself. In fact, this is partly due to the fact that it was Sunday and only 5,000 tests were performed", - Tsertsvadze said.
