Tengiz Tsertsvadze states he will remain in office

Tengiz Tsertsvadze, director general of the Tbilisi Infectious Diseases Hospital, said he will remain in office.

Tsertsvadze recalled a statement he made a few days ago that he was considering resigning because he was "heartbroken and insulted." According to Tsertsvadze, the statement was emotional.

"Yes, I'm staying - it is better to stay for work and the country. The reaction was very interesting. At first, I thought the whole country was ruined and everyone was against me, it turned out that this is a very small part of society. It is so small that I could not feel these attitudes and assessments anywhere - neither at work nor in living conditions. I felt unequivocal and unconditional support from the community. It made me think that I should not be leaving my job, it's these people who should be leaving," Tengiz Tsertsvadze said on the Public Broadcaster.
