According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health, more than 400 cases of tourists being infected with coronavirus have been registered in Georgia during the last month.

As Gamkrelidze said in response to a question after the meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council, some of the tourists were confirmed to have the virus after entering the country.

"I can't tell you whether the increase in cases is related to the Delta strain. It is connected with more mobility, with more people entering, including in terms of the Delta Strain. 7 more cases were confirmed yesterday. In addition, I informed the Council today that we have more than 400 cases of tourists being infected and then isolated. Increased mobility is one of the risk factors for the spread of infection", - Gamkrelidze said, clarifying that more than 400 cases of tourists being infected with coronavirus have been reported in the past month.

"Some were confirmed on the spot, some after entering. I can't tell you about the strains", - Gamkrelidze said.
