Tamar Gabunia: The new strain is spreading faster and more caution is needed - at this stage we have no scientific basis to assume that this strain is more actively harming young people

According to the Deputy Minister of Health, Tamar Gabunia, the new strain of coronavirus is spreading faster than the already known strain.

"In one of the three suspicious cases, a new strain was confirmed, which in fact is clinically the same as the previously known strain. The only thing that is known at the moment is that the new strain is spreading faster and we need to be more careful about using personal protective equipment, as well as following the rules in the business environment and social gathering places, which we knew we had to do before", - Gabunia said.
