Number of infected doctors increases to 72

According to the Director of the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Tengiz Tsertsvadze, the number of infected doctors has increased to 72.

According to him, this may not be a small number for Georgia, but compared to European countries, this figure is minimal.

"The number of infected doctors has increased. As far as I know it has reached 72. Of course, this is not good and the percentage seems to be high, more than 10%, but this is also because the total number of infected people is 660 in our country. As for Italy and other European countries, the number of infected medical staff is more than 6000 and some of them have died. Let's not be very sensitive about everything, because 72 may not be a low figure for us, but compared to European countries, where there are thousands of infected healthcare workers, this figure is minimal. And it is also important that none of medical workers has died here,"- said Tengiz Tsertsvadze.
