"All contacts of one case of the new coronavirus strain in Georgia have been identified, they are in isolation, a difficult epidemiological study has been conducted in this regard," said Deputy Health Minister Tamar Gabunia at a briefing after the meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council.
As for which group is most affected by the new strain, Tamar Gabunia noted that, so far, we have no scientific evidence that this strain is more harmful to young people.
"Some assumptions have been made in this regard, however, there is no confirmed data. The only thing that is known is that the speed of its spread may be higher than in the case of the original version, "- said Tamar Gabunia.
However, the new strain of coronavirus in Georgia was confirmed yesterday. The patient is a man over 50, whose condition is satisfactory and stays in isolation.
