According to the Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia, the effectiveness of the self-isolation tool in breaking the coronavirus transmission chain, as well as the importance of home treatment in preventing overcrowding in the hospital sector, is very important.
The Prime Minister held an inter-agency council in an online format and said that when a person first has a symptom, regardless of whether he has a positive test result or has managed to take the test, he should immediately move to self-isolation.
"Home treatment - family doctors, it is essential to have as many citizens as possible to be treated calmly, peacefully, because home treatment is one of the most effective solutions to prevent the health care system from being overwhelmed and do not leave out people who need treatment with specialized medical services in the first place.
In addition, in the Covid-hotels we talked about yesterday, we urgently need to introduce elementary therapeutic elements today. These should be not only Covid-hotels for our citizens who do not have the possibility of self-isolation, but also Covid-hotels with therapeutic management elements and medical supervision. Hospitalization for severe cases only.
No matter how much it costs us, lowering the hospitalization rate to 15% is the only and critically important factor that should make us overcome this crisis. Therefore, starting from the hospitalization protocols, ending with the manual management, we must do everything to reduce this 26% to 15%," said Giorgi Gakharia.
