"As soon as the infection rate starts to decrease and supposedly in ten days, we should start getting rid of the strict restrictions," Bidzina Kulumbegov, an allergist-immunologist, told TV-program "Business Morning".
According to him, the virus will not disappear anywhere for a long time, but if we learn to live with it, it will become endemic, which means that Sars-CoV-2 will always remain in the population and its circulation will lead to more or less predictable outbreaks.
"According to the growing rates of coronavirus infection, Georgia ranks third in the world by the number of cases per 100,000 population in 7-day period, but this statistic will decrease sharply from the second half of March, so the country should allow the restrictions to be eased, because 98% of the population will be vaccinated naturally", - said Bidzina Kulumbegov.
As Kulumbegov declares, to find differences based on the symptoms of viral respiratory diseases is actually futile because they are similar.
“If the symptoms are mild, and if you are vaccinated young person, you do not need to be tested, you should treat yourself as you do other viruses," said Bidzina Kulumbegov.
