Omicron has not been confirmed in Georgia yet. Such a statement made today the Deputy Health Minister.

“We are continuing active monitoring. We have the capacity to examine suspicious cases and find out if we are dealing with the Omicron strain.

No such case has been confirmed yet, but of course, there are risks due to its rapid spread and migration.

It is extremely important to strengthen border controls, which the country began as soon as information on Omicron was released, as well as the personal protection, obeying COVID regulations, and vaccination.

Effect of vaccine protection remains with respect to Omicron, especially at the third booster dose”, - said Tamar Gabunia.
