1 678 medical personnel infected in Georgia with COVID-19. Such a statement made today the Head of National Center for Diseases Control and Public Health.

“The 90 people are medical personnel making the number of COVID-19 infected doctors to 1 678, the 5.2% of the total number of the infected people.

Doctors are the most vulnerable part of the population and this is characteristic not only for Georgia. Our colleagues get infected not only during performing their duties but in home conditions as well because we have the increasing internal transmission of the infection in the country. This is not unexpected but more attention should be made to the control of infection at medical institutions”, - said Amiran Gamkrelidze
