Epidemiological situation worsens in the country. Such a statement made today the Head of the National Center for Diseases Control.

“The daily positivity rate and new coronavirus cases are alarming. That’s why we need an intensification of control on restrictions and implementation of recommendations. Unfortunately, we are repeating the same as in August. We believe that we won over COVID-19 that may lead to deadly results”, - said Amiran Gamkrelidze.

He also added that the Government is holding negotiations with Novavax Company on the purchase of 1 000 000 vaccine shots.

“Georgia would receive vaccines from different producers during the year. Direct purchases from Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson are pending. The arrival of additional vaccines from AstraZeneca stands.

We are likely to transform onto the stage of mass immunization from July”, - concluded the Head of the NCDC.
