The Indian strain is coming. Epidemiologists' forecasts are confirmed

The first cases of detection of modified coronavirus in the country were recorded at the end of May. Five of the infected came from the Middle East.

The new covid mutation has symptoms similar to a common cold. It is because of this that the strain managed to spread so quickly not only on the territory of Georgia, but also around the world. It has already hit several continents and spread to many countries.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the new covid is 50 percent more contagious than the previous one, and is more aggressive and resistant to antibodies. It is also noted that it spreads more among young people and children.

At the moment, 112 covid patients are being treated in Georgian clinics, most of whom are infected with an Indian type of infection.

In the Tbilisi Republican Hospital, all 350 hospital beds for covid patients are occupied.

Doctors urge you to take responsibility for the slightest manifestations of malaise and, if there are any, immediately turn to medical testing and self-isolation.
