Tsertsvadze: It seems the third wave peak has passed
Director of the Hospital For Infectious Diseases Tengiz Tsertsvadze made a statement regarding the potential passing of the third wave peak.
“The last 2-3 days give the impression that we have passed the peak of the third wave. When the number of cases is too high, many cases are accompanied by more deaths. Proportionally, out of all the confirmed cases, if we take the death rate, it was low in Georgia and remains low.”
