The Head of the National Center for Disease Control urges people not to go to church and not to promote the chaotic spread of the virus, which will lead to many casualties. Amiran Gamkrelidze made such a statement in Dgis Kurieri.

“We have made two big “leaps” in the last three days of the development of the epidemic. This indicates that the internal distribution is greater than identified.
So the danger is even greater than we realize. Paata’s [Imnadze] words are true. If we relax in the next 4 days, we can receive 5 000, 7 000 or 8 000 cases. It will be very crucial. It will not appear on the 2nd or 3rd day. It will give its result after 5 days.

I want to make a very heavy appeal. Don’t go to the churches, pray from home. This is the first time I have made this kind of statement, don’t go to church! God forgives us because more Georgians will survive”, - said Amiran Gamkrelidze.
