Amiran Gamkrelidze: All options including field hospitals are considered - everything should be done so that COVID-infected people are not left without medical care

Everything must be done so that COVID-infected people are not left without medical care, so all options, including worse options, are considered, - Amiran Gamkrelidze, the head of the National Center for Disease Control, said after the meeting of the Interagency Coordination Council.

According to him, 12% of the 5,000 daily cases need hospital assistance.

"Every day when we have 5000 cases, there is a need to hospitalize 5-10 and maybe at least 12% of them. It is true that the so-called discharging intensity is higher, but the load is serious. I can not tell you the details now, all the options are considered and even today there was a discussion about it. All options are considered starting from field hospitals or even others - field hospitals in large areas where less staff can serve a large number of citizens as well as military doctors and military service and other options, because everything must be done so that COVID-infected people are not left without medical care, so, all versions, including the worse versions, will be considered", - Gamkrelidze said.
