Expanded testing is underway at several points, especially in Mestia, where the quarantine period for those who were in self-isolation or quarantine will in most cases end tomorrow and the day after. 80-85% have been re-tested, all the answers were negative as a result of which they left the quarantine areas, the remaining 15-20% will be tested today and tomorrow”, - said Amiran Gamkrelidze.
