Biological materials of two persons will be sent to Germany, as their viruses could not be identified

According to Tengiz Tsertsvadze, head of the Tbilisi Infectious Disease Hospital, the biological materials of the young man and woman will be sent to Germany today and it will take 2 or 3 days to get results.

As Tsertsvadze said, this does not change anything, because the threat of coronavirus is very minimal. In addition, the two Chinese nationals who were brought from Kazbegi yesterday have not been confirmed to be infected by coronavirus and they only have flu.

“Four patients are in our clinic who were admitted yesterday. Two of them were Chinese children (twins), who were part of a nine-member Chinese group in Kazbegi. They had fever and were admitted to our clinic. Sometimes incorrect information is disseminated, according to which, all nine people were brought to the clinic. Only two children were brought in, because they had fever, while the other 7 people of the same group were under the supervision of a specialist at home. The children were examined and did not turn out to be infected with Coronavirus”, Tsertsvadze said.

He said the children remain in the infectious hospital because they need inpatient treatment, but they remain as those with normal flu.

As for the other two patients, Tengiz Tsertsvadze explained that no known viruses could be confirmed in their case, so their materials will be sent to Germany. “However, according to the symptoms, most likely, the young man and woman in question do not have a coronavirus," Tengiz Tsertsvadze said.
