Two Georgians Who Were in China Tested Negative for Coronavirus

"Two Georgian citizens with flu symptoms who recently returned from China have tested negative for the new coronavirus," head of the Georgian National Disease Control Center Amiran Gamkrelidze has stated.

The Georgian side received test results from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, earlier today. 

Currently, four patients are under intense observation at the Tbilisi Infectious Disease Clinic.

The answers received from Rotterdam will be sent to the Tbilisi Infectious Disease Clinic, after which it will be decided whether the two patients who tested negative for coronavirus will be discharged from the hospital. 

The death toll in China from the virus has risen to 425. Hong Kong has also reported its first coronavirus death.

No case of coronavirus has been reported in Georgia so far.
