"If today there are 3,697 new cases of COVID-19, we have to take into account that, daily rate of infection might be 2-2.5 times higher than the official number, but these are mostly mild or asymptomatic patients. Restrictions and "lockdown" are not the only tool to flight against COVID-19, the second weapon is expansion of testing, - said Amiran Gamrelidze.
