Although no problems have arisen as a result of the increase in the number of cases, this does not mean that the resources of the healthcare system are unlimited. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

Giorgi Gakharia stated that establishments must demonstrate greater responsibility, carry out thermal screening, provide disinfectants, and manage their employees so that the medics can respond quickly in case of necessity.

“While we have no problems managing the increased number [of infections] and the rapid spread [of the virus] today, this does not mean that the resources of the healthcare system are unlimited. We need to explain to everyone that all resources - first and foremost, resources of the healthcare system - have limitations, which need to be taken into consideration. In order to avoid restrictions we must follow the basic requirements: face masks, distancing, norms of hygiene, and caring for the elderly, especially in Adjara. We are not telling anyone to stay at home but now would be the right time to tell elderly citizens to stay at home. Establishments must all have their own responsibilities. The obligations of the state are, first and foremost, rapid testing and detection, then the fast triage system of 112 and the fever centers, then the new approach of the clinical group (which entails the management of mild and asymptomatic cases with the help of 112, telemedicine, and the primary healthcare sector), then quarantine spaces and, of course, the admission of serious cases to hospital”, - said the Head of the Government.
