According to the Minister of Health, Ekaterine Tikaradze, such development of the epidemiological situation was expected.

As Tikaradze told journalists, the healthcare system is ready to admit patients.

"We expected such development of the epidemic, because you know that we monitor the prevalence of infection on a daily basis. This allows us to make a prediction of what will happen in the next two weeks, based on changes in the number of infections observed in the previous 14 days. Therefore, we take all the necessary steps to prepare the healthcare system to receive patients at the three different levels that we have outlined - involvement of family doctors throughout the country, COVID hotels, where our citizens are treated by doctors of hospitals, and also the clinics themselves, which are now referred as COVID clinics", - said Tikaradze.
