If large-scale studies are not conducted, the only measure is closure of these villages. Such a statement made today the Head of the National Center for Diseases Control and Public Health.

Amiran Gamkrelidze talks the three villages of Gachiani settlement of Gardabani Municipality in Kvemo Kartli region - Karajalari, Aghtaklia and Karataklia.

“I don’t exclude that these radical measures might be taken, if the inhabitants of the villages do not cooperate and if we can"t conduct big scale checkings in the settlement, then the only step left will be to isolate these three villages and lock it. The Coordinating Council is discussing this and will make a corresponding decision. In the meantime, we ask the inhabitants once again to be more amenable”, - said the Head of NCDC.
